What makes up a Billion?
A billion seconds ago was June of 1984.
A billion Minutes ago was the year 116 AD.
A billion hours ago was the stone age.
A billion days ago was 2.7 million years and there were multiple species of hominids walking on two legs.
And lastly based on 2016 fiscal spending it takes the federal government 2 hours 16 minutes and 30 seconds to spend 1 billion dollars...all of these numbers change a bit as time moves on. But breaking that down one more time We find that the Federal government spends roughly $1.50 per hour per resident. Then consider that onlyabout a third of the US population pays a federal
income tax. That comes out to almost $5 per hour.
I wonder how much the average taxpayer pays per hour in taxes upon work... ?
