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

Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
Is presently 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

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.
Now she works two jobs, is divorced
and Dad has a new wife and step children

What happened?
Can you spell 'politicians! '
WHO ARE THEY WORKING FOR?
What the heck
happened???? ?
