DEFINITION OF A BILLION

How many zeros 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 it's 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 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 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 ON.

We had the largest middle class in the world..



and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.



What happened?

press '1'



for English.

What the heck happened???
