Thread: How much is a Billion??????

  1. #1
    Not So Fast
    Got this awhile ago and maybe its old but interesting
    a billion seconds ago it was 1959
    a billion minutes ago Jesus was alive
    a billion hours ago was the stone age
    a billion days ago no walked on the earth with 2 feet
    a billion dollars ago was only 8 hrs and 20 minutes, at the rate our gov. is spending it
    Now consider this, A Louisiana Senator is asking Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild N.O.
    Whats that mean???
    every resident of N.O. (484,674) man, woman and child would get $516,528
    Or the homeowners of N.O. (188,251) would get $1,329,787
    a family of four would get $2,066,012
    Politicians have no concept and use the term "billion" carelessly.
    The Iraq war is now at approx. $320 Billion
    Pretty amazing huh?? NSF

    And a Billion is a thousand Million.
    And a Million is a thousand thousand.
    Just for those who think a Billion ain't that much.
    So when the gov talks about 80 Billion for this or that, that 80 billion represents Eighty Thousand Million $.

    That's 2 million dollars every minute
    or $33.333.00 every second.
    Those guys know how to party.
    How does it feel to know that if you make around 100K a year it takes the government about one second to spend your income tax donation?

    So if Bill Gates net worth say 50 Billion dollars, the government would spend it in about 17 days.
    If Bill lived 50 more years he'd have to spend $2,750.000.00 a day to use it all up.
    Those gov guys really do know how to party.

    Since the crash of 04..lol So if Bill Gates net worth say 25 Billion dollars, the government would spend it in about 8 days.
    If Bill lived 50 more years he'd have to spend $1,375.000.00 a day to use it all up.
    Those gov guys still really do know how to party.
