It's Only Money....

HELLO GENTLE READERS,

Now I'm not the most thrifty person in the world. I've made good money and spent a lot of it (divorces aren't cheap, you know)! But, I'm a miser when compared to the Government.

What is a billion?

1. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
2. A billion minutes ago Jesus walked the earth.
3. A billion hours ago we lived in caves.
4. A billion days ago people didn't exist.

Our Government creates debt at a rate of a billion dollars every eight hours or so! Wow" Louisana Senator, Mary Landrieu, is asking Congress for 250 billion dollars to rebuild New Orleans. A worthy cause to be sure but, 250 billion? That's over $500,000.00 for every man, woman and child living there! That's a lotta' crawfish and gumbo, folks!

Well, that's all the time I have for now. I'm busy packing for Louisana.
