How Much is a Billion

Dear Friends,

 

This short entry will surprise you, but more than that I hope it will make you think.

 

Happy Valentines Day, Love to all,

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 1975.
B. A billion minutes ago was the year 105
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago only apes walked on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes ago, at the rate our government is spending it.
