Time Is Money
A Billion.
The next time you hear a politician use the words "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
in one of its releases:
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 dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the
rate Washington spends it.
The Democrats are complaining on how long the war is taking
but consider this:
- It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno
to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation.
- It took less time to find Saddam's sons in Iraq than it
took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.
- It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the
Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took
Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sunk
at Chappaquiddick.
- It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the
votes in Florida!!!!!! (You gotta admit our military is GREAT!)
