What does the word “billion” mean to you?  It seems our Washington politicians talk about billions and trillions  like it was a dollar.  A billion is a difficult number to comprehend.  One ad agency put the number billion into some perspectives.  A billion seconds ago it was 1959.  A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.  So when you hear a politician talk about billions and trillions, would  you please tell him to think and talk in more reasonable terms.   Terms we can afford!
