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.
