I don't know if this is all true, but it's food for thought...
How many zeros in a billion?
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 (1,000,000,000), but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective:
A billion seconds ago it was 1978.
A billion minutes ago was AD 109.
A billion hours ago it was 114,000 years in the past.
A billion days ago equals 2.74 million years earth time.
A billion dollars ago was only 4 hours and 10 minutes (and getting shorter), at the rate our government is spending it.
