How many zeros are in a billion? This is too true to be 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 it's 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 Congress for $250,000,000,000 (that is 250 BILLION DOLLARS) to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number...what does it mean?

A. Well.... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (that is every man, woman, & child) each one would get $516,528. So, if you are a family of four...your family would get $2,066,012.

B. Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, each home would get $1,329,787.
Washington, D.C. -- HELLO! Are all your calculators broken?? Thanks to our 'politicians', we now have:

Accounts Receivable Tax
Building Permit Tax
CDL License Tax
Cigarette Tax
Corporate Income Tax
Dog License Tax
Federal Income Tax <>

I got this from my brother today - ingenious - of course it would never happen because our politicians want us to be indebted to them!!!!
I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG….Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend .

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bona fide U.S. Citizens 18+. I figure our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free…So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Based on that, every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes, which in turn sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam. But is also means every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket! A husband and wife has $595,000.00! What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.
Repay college lo ans – what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college – it'll be there
Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car – create jobs
Invest in the market – capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance – health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.=0 A

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out
a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President. If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's do it right and bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG? – Simple: liquidate it. Sell off its parts. Let American General go back to being American General. Sell off the real estate, and let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up for all of us.

Here's my rationale.&n bsp;We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."…but can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party we'd have - it's just what this country needs! Besides, can you spell "Economic Boom"? I certainly trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use their $85 Billion We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC.

And remember, my plan only really only costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Did you know that the capital of Nevada (Carson City) is west of Los Angeles? True...

This is an absolute career killer!

This is weird...watch as the car takes it's last turn. The camera man caught what really looks to be a ghost on film. You can hear there reaction in the background. The entire production moved to another location to film.

This is Cool! How do they do it?

This is really amazing: Music soothes the savage beast!
