DID YOU SAY DEBT

Zeroes in a Billion?

This is too true to be funny ...

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 releases.

A.

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 on

 

the earth walked on two

 

feet.

E.

A billion dollars ago was only

8 hours and 20 minutes,

at the rate our governments

are 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 Congress

 

for

250 BILLION DOLLARS

to rebuild New Orleans ...

 

Interesting number ...

what does it mean?

A

Well... if you are one of the

 

484,674 residents of New

 

Orleans

(every man, woman, and 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.

Imagine, now $700 billion

 

bailing out banks in the

 

US . That's enough to fund complete medical care for

 

every man, woman and child currently alive in the US

 

for 11 years!!

50 billion to bail out the auto

 

industry ?? ?

Washington , D.C.

&

Ottawa

< HELLO!!! >

Are all your calculators

 

broken ??

FUNNY ?? ?

Not one of these taxes existed

 

100 years ago ...

and our nations were the most

 

prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national

 

debt ...

We 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

US & CANADA

at least 1 billion times

What the hell happened ?? ?
