1 Billion |

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...
THE WALL STREET BAIL OUT WAS
700 BILLION
HELLO!

We had absolutely no national debt...
We had the largest middle class in the world...
And Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened?
Can you spell 'politicians!'
And I still have to
Press '1'
For English.
