[COLOR=black]The next time you hear a politician use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]YOUR tax money.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]but one advertising agency did a good job of[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]putting that figure into some perspective in[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]one of its releases.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black] living in the Stone Age.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]E. [/COLOR][FONT=Tahoma]A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and[/FONT]

20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

[COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let’s take a look at [/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]New Orleans[/COLOR][/FONT] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division [/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]$250 BILLION[/FONT] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does it mean?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]New Orleans[/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] (every man, woman, child), you[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=black] each get $516,528.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]New Orleans[/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] , your home gets $1,329,787.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family[/COLOR][/FONT]
