What is a Billion dollars? 1/14th of V-day spending...

I don't think you have any clue how much $1,000,000,000.00 is....

A few examples:

PresBO, and the GOP Candidate will both spend $1B on their campaigns...

On Valentine's Day, Americans will spend $14.3B, $0.5B just on their freaking pets!

So, we'll spend 7 times more on Candy and Flowers, than on determining the Most Powerful Person in the World...

The Federal Gov't spends $764B on Medicare and Medicare... Healthcare for the old and indigent.  More than 50 Valentine's Days...

So, from another perspective:

$100,000 a year is a nice living, and almost twice the Median income in the US.

If you had $1,000,000,000, earning NO interest, you could spend $100,000 for 10,000 years...

Ten thousand years, at $100k per year...

Or, you could just give 10,000 families a $100k.... that's a thought...

Need more perspective?

Watch:









Please understand this number...it is relevant to insurance, healthcare, disaster relief, and welfare.

And, you won't need to put your pinky on your mouth....
