How many zeros in a billion? This is too true to be funny!
The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think
about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.
about whether you want the 'politicians' 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 some 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 the earth on two feet.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes,at the rate our government
is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans ...
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. After hurricane Katrina

you each get $516,528.
Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787
