SMAN Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 The nexttime you hear a politician use the words "billion" casually, think about whether you want that politician spending your tax dollars. A "billion" is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective; A billion seconds ago, it was 1959. A billion minutes ago, Jesus was walking the earth. A billion hours ago, some people think our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hour and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
