    Think about this:

    A million dollars fits into a nice briefcase.

    A Billion is 1000 million. It takes 10 million $100 bills to make a Billion dollars.

    The picture represents a Billion dollars in $100 bills.

    A Billion is 1/1000 of a Trillion.

    And we’re about to have Trillion dollar deficits every year, 10 years out!

    And the ONLY thing they can find in the budget “worthy” of cuts? DEFENSE – in a post 9/11 world where Iran and North Korea will be nuclear VERY soon.

    Scared yet?
