Putting a 'billion' in perspective

[JC]

Just caught this on the KTLA news....hope I got it right...

...a billion seconds ago was 1959.
...a billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
...a billion hours ago, our ancestors were in the Stone Age.

...a billion dollars ago was 8 minutes ago at the rate the Government spends it.

That's 180 billion a day. I know we go through it, but not that fast.
