True, though awfully vague.

I'll leave it to you Californians to determine whether the executive branch of your state government is actually plowing through more than $1 trillion per annum.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases:
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 dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate California Governor Gray Davis and his adminstration spends it.

but that reminds me of a story about the Hunt family fortune. Lamar Hunt owned the Dallas Texans of the old AFL and they lost over 1 million dollars in the 1963 season. A reporter asked HL Hunt (Lamar’s dad) what Lamar would do if that continued. HL drawled “Son, at that rate, he can only last another 125 years”
