FUN W/ NUMBERS!!

                                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.
                                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 it's 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-one walked on
the earth on two feet.

                                E.
                                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.


                                Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D),
                                Is presently asking the Congress for
                                $250 BILLION
                                To rebuild New Orleans
                                Interesting number, What does it mean?

                                A.
                                Well, if you are one of
                                484,674 residents of
                                New Orleans
                                (every man, woman, child),
                                you each get $516,528.

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

                                C.
                                Or, if you are a family of four, your
family gets
                                $2,066,012.

                                STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
                                Not one of these taxes existed 100
years ago,
                                and our nation was the most prosperous
in the world.
                                We had absolutely no national debt,
had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to
raise the kids.

                                What the heck happened?
                                Can you spell 'politicians!'

                                And I still have to
                                'press 1'
                                For English.

                                I hope this goes around the
                                USA
                                At least 100 times!

                                What the heck happened?????
