| A billion... The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" casually, think about whether you want this 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 perspective in one of its releases. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. A billion days ago no-one walked on two feet on earth. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate the government spends it. |
