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 press releases.

A billion dollars ago was only
13 hours and 12 minutes,
At the rate our government
is spending it. [/color][/b]

[i][color=blue]Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...
And our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt...
We had the largest middle class in the world...
And Mum stayed home to raise the kids.[/color][/i]
