?This is too true to be funny!

The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in their usual casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR hard earned taxed dollars.??

A billion is a really difficult number to comprehend, but here goes:

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. ?         But a billion dollars ago was only?a few minutes       

       ago at the rate our government is now spending  

       it. ??

While this thought is still fresh in your brain...?let's take a real look at New Orleans.

It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division (however, it’s very apparent most of the electorate can’t or won’t or don’t care).??

Louisiana Senator,?Mary Landrieu (D) ?is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS?(of your hard earned money) to rebuild New Orleans -- again. It’s an 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) would 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. ??
