What Does One Billion Dollars Look Like; And; What Is It !!!

What is 1 Billion dollars?


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,

Perhaps this will do a good job of:

Putting that figure into some perspective in

One of its releases.

WHAT ONE BILLION DOLLARS LOOKS LIKE


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, just as a 'for instance.'

It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator was 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.

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...

We had the largest middle class in the world...

And Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What the heck has happened to our country?????

Can you spell 'politicians'...?

(Politicians and corporations and technocrats and PACs and lobbyists and
'special interest groups'...)

This would be hilarious if it wasn't funny.

And the 'stimulus' package just passed
by Congress @ $1.9 TRILLION = lessee,
HOW MANY dollars...?
and how much of that will 'trickle down' to me and you...? ...

A billion is a thousand million...
And a trillion is a million million...
so 1.9 trillion is almost two million million, give or take.
The country is bankrupt and they don't have the money,
but they're spending it anyway.

Who ARE these people...?

Oh, right... They're our representatives.

They represent us.

Imagine that...
I'd like to know where I can go on this garden planet
to escape the fraud and corruption.
It's amazing, isn't it...
how much the psychopathic parasites at the top live on lies
and their seemingly limitless corruption.

And I still have to Press '1' For English.

I hope this goes around the USA (and the world)
at least 100 times, or maybe two million million times...
