Edited: 100 Billion Dollars: Wall Street Journal.

When a 100 Billion is put on paper, it seem such a small thing. It is hard to put it in context.

A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

A billion days ago no one on the earth walked on two feet.

A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our governments are spending it.

When will we stop and give our heads a shake? 100 Billion Dollars? To the UN? Wow, they have a great track record of financial stewardship. This is one big cow to milk!
