The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" casually; think
about whether you want that politician 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 perspective:
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 pounds ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate
the Government spends it.
