Here's some perspective on a million versus a billion.

Spend $1,000 a day, and you will spend a million dollars in about three
years.

You must spend one million dollars a day to spend a billion dollars in the
same amount of time.....OR......spend the same $1,000 a day for 3,000
years.

"A million here....a million there. Before you know it you're talking some
REAL money." - Any politician
