What Is A Billion Anything?

The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want those lunatics to keep getting their hands on 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:.

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 eight hours and 20 minutes at the rate our government is spending it.

When will enough be enough?
