The next time you hear a politician use the
word “billion” in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the “politicians” spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of its releasesA. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and
20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending
it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let’s take a
look at New Orleans It’s amazing what you can learn
with some simple division . . Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking
the Congress for
$250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans .
Interesting number, what does it mean?A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of
New
Orleans (every man, woman, child), you
each get $516,528.B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home
gets $1,329,787.C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family
gets $2,066,012.Washington, D.C .. HELLO!!! … Are all your calculators broken??

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of
these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt,
had the largest middle class in the world,
and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.What happened? Can you spell ‘politicians!’
And I still have to “press
1” for English. I hope
this goes around THE
USA at least 100 times
What the heck happened?????
