  This is sad but true. If it doesn't make you laugh, it will sure make you 
cry. How did all this happen??? Who was paying attention????
   
   Here's something to think about.......... 
        This is too true to be very 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 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?

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

        B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
              New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

        C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family
            gets $2,066,012.

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

        STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?   
        Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, 
        and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.     ;
        We had absolutely no national debt, 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.  

        I hope this goes around THE 
        USA at least 100 times 
          
        What the heck happened?????
