Millions and Billions
We hear a lot now about billions not millions. It is hard to grasp the relative size of these two amounts. A letter in the Irish Times is helpful."...one method of grasping the increase from a million to a billion: a million seconds is under 12 days, while a billion seconds is over 31 years."
And we in Ireland are pouring mega billions of euros into the banks. Privatise profits and socialise losses
