Short but interesting lesson - Clear perspective 

      The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion," casually, think about whether you want the 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 days ago no-one walked on two feet on earth. 
      A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government spends it.
