I have heard repeatedly that our government spends money “like a drunken sailor.” Upon pondering the following data, I don’t think the sailor in question can hold a candle to our congress.
How much is a billion?
A billion seconds ago was 1959 . . . I was only 8 years old.
A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago, the earth was in the stone age.
. . . and a billion dollars ago was 8 hours and 20 minutes at the rate our government spends money!!
