What is a BILLION?

The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion,".... casually, think about whether you want that politician spending your tax money, Democrat OR Republican. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into 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 the Stone Age.

D: A billion days ago no humans walked with two feet upon this earth.

E: A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government spends it.
