Politics Nothing goes with politics quite like crying and complaining, and we're a perfect example of that.

Default Just a thought.

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. 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 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 , 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.



Have a great weekend ,Jim

There ISN'T a single anti-tax anti-spending individual in the whole bunch of front runners.

I will not support anyone who believes in increasing spending, taxes, or borrowing. I will not support anyone who will not defend Americas citizens at home. I will not support anyone who want to take away my right to defend myself.

Therefore, there is NO front runner candidate I can support.

bnh, look at fred thompsons issues. He may not be a front runner but if that is all that is important no wonder we are in this mess.
