The politicians in Congress think nothing of squandering our money. All
they have to do is
go to Congress and "appropriate" some more. Hey, money for nothing...
It never occurs to these folks that there are people with lives on the
other end of their
endless stream of appropriations, or maybe it does and they just don't
care. But, like Bush
'41 who didn't have a clue about the grocery star and what goes on below
the glass
ceiling, our Congress doesn't trouble their heads over the little people
from whom they are
basically stealing all of this money. Where is Mme. DeFarge when you
need her?
Congress ordered up another 70 BILLION dollars recently. It would serve
us all to have a
closer look as to exactly what one billion means.

What is a billion???
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 its releases.
a. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
b. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. (if of
course, he ever 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), is presently asking the
Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans. Interesting
number, what does it mean?
a. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New
Orleans (every man, woman, 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??
This is too true to be very funny
Tax his land,
Tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirts,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his booze,
Tax his beers,
If he cries,
Tax his tears.
Tax his bills,
Tax his gas,
Tax his notes,
Tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.
If he hollers,
Tax him more,
Tax him until he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"
And when he's gone,
We won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!!

And there was prosperity, absolutely no national debt,
The largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed home
to raise the kids.
What the hell happened???? ?
