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)
Was asking Congress for
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 (every man, woman and 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??

MrEd Loc: Georgia

No, your calculator is not working right. It's like this. Rebuild the government office buildings, rebuild the government office workers homes, and the rest goes in the pockets of the government workers so they can enjoy that good life. You didn't really think this was going for the people did you????

Tyster

You must be a proponent of the trickle down economics... think much would have left the Mayor's hands (particularly Nagin's)?
