Has anyone noticed ?

In the national economy the word "million" is hardly ever used any more. "Billion" is the common term these days and "trillion" is starting to creep in to the terminology. Now I don't know about you, but for me, and I'm 62, a million dollars is still a large amount of money. Everyone seems to lost any concept of what dollar amounts these elected officals are tossing around. It is hard for me to even conceive what a billion dollars is and a trillion,,,, get real. My point,,, our representatives are so disconnected from what the real world has to deal with on an everyday basis, they just can't understand why we don't want to throw another $700 billion down the rathole. Term limits for all those thieves.
