What's A Billion
1/9/2009 2:04:17 AM

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.

< HELLO!!! >

Are all your calculators broken??

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...

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 heck happened???

Howdy Nick,

Yes, Myrna is right when she said GREED is behind it all.  And who is behind that?  Satan!

What I hope people will realize soon is that this is just the tip of the iceberg!  All this government bailout money is NOT going to work, is not going to solve this country's nor the world's financial problems.  It's only a temporary Band-aid.  A Band-aid can only cover up a small scrape, but there is a gaping hole that has been opening up for a long time and is only going to grow bigger and bigger and make conditions worse and worse. 

We are not only witnessing the beginning of the collapse of the world's financial system, we are witnessing the beginning of the collapse of the entire "system of things" as foretold in the Bible, which also tells us that Satan is the ruler of!

You got that right Terry! It sounds like they are already starting to realize that those dollars come from the same place the ones that paid off the last batch of millionaire sloths came from.
The present system is truly going away fast!
