To which office was Hillary elected to in 1992?
to the office she was appointed to by the president of the USA. ever
hear of THAT office?
Then what right did she have to make policy that would have destroyed the
healthcare system for 260,000,000 Americans with insurance so that
40,000,000 uninsured could get access?
and when DID you stop beating your wife? incidentally, 300,000,000
americans use energy....that dick cheney feels so deeply belongs only
to the rich.
Speaking of big numbers:
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.
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
1. Number of Illegal Aliens in the Country 20,807,645
2. Money Wired to Mexico City since January, 2006 $22,213,001,672.00
3. Cost of Social Security Services for Illegal Aliens since 1996
$397,450,739,563.00
4. Number of Children of Illegal Aliens in Public Schools 3,958,789
5. Cost of Illegal Aliens in K-12 Since 1996: $13, 965,063,431.00
6. Number of Illegal Aliens Incarcerated 332,594
7. Cost of Incarcerations Since 2001 $1,398,127,429.00
8. Number of Illegal Aliens Fugitives 642,799
9. Skilled Jobs Taken by Illegal Aliens 9,872,838
Figures can trick your eyes. Take particular note that items 2,3,5, and 7
reflect BILLION not millions of dollars -- and that item 3 exceeds
one-third of a TRILLION dollars.
Can you imagine how much it will cost taxpayers if we triple the number of
Illegals entering this country!!
