Food for thought?

[pigeonpete]

 

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 Pounds ago was only

13 hours and 12 minutes,  

At  the rate our government

Is spending it.

STILL  THINK THIS IS  FUNNY?

 

Not  one of  these taxes existed 100 years ago...

And our nation was one  of the most  prosperous in the world.

 

We had  absolutely no national  debt...

We had the largest  middle class in the world...

And  Mum stayed home to  raise the kids.

 

What  happened?

Can  you spell 'politicians!'

 

 

I  hope this goes  around the

UK  

At least   100 times  

What  the  hell happened?????

  

Gordon Brown, that's What
