What's a billion between friends?

I received this in an E-mail. The author is unknown:

"-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 days ago, no one walked on two feet.

-A billion dollars ago, was only 8 hours and 20 minutes ago at the rate our government is spending it."

In other words, If you took every dollar Bill Gates has, it would run the government for 20 days, 18 hours.
