Here's something thought provoking -

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 its 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?

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

Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your home gets $1, 329,787 Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.


Washington, D.C. !!!...........................Are all your calculators
broken????

Barry, I have no idea what my 1/4 mile time is. Why? There's no gas station between the starting line and the finish line.

Jim , on the rear bottom of your C3 there's hanging the fuel line and measuring unit on a cap. That cap should be placed in the hole you see on the bottom of the gas tank. Hope this helps.

It is very easy for the politicians to roll "billions" off their toungues because it isn't their money that they're spending; it's ours!
