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 billion seconds ago it was 1959.
-
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
-
A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
-
A billion days ago no one walked on the earth on two feet.
-
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.
Yikes! Certainly makes you think!
