A Billion - The True Story About a Billion Dollars

 

This is too true to be very funny.

The next time you hear a politician use the

word "billion" in a casual manner, think about

whether you want that politician 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 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were

living in caves.

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 the
Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild
New Orleans . Interesting number. What does it mean?

A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of

New Orleans (every man, woman, 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 for repairs.

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, 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 ?

Get real, to our government taxes are the means to get elected. They tax the crap out all of us then give the money to their pet pojects to get votes. They call them riders, pork barrels, and ear marks. And when the president vetos bills with too much pork fat on them we are all told how he killed an important bill, they forget to add it had about $400 million in fat attached. How many of you have been to Ill. and visited the aqarium there? Well don't worry you paid $1 million this year to them so your visit isn't needed and they have billions in assets and do not need that money. Yeap lets vote more of these great officals who are so concerned with our needs.

I think that you are responsible for yourself, If you cannot support yourself, No one else should have to. The tax payers shouldnt have to support other peoples poor decisions, Our children are our future, So give them NO LESS than every chance and opportunity that was afforded to you and the reward will be Priceless !!!!!!!
