Enough already!

It does no good to talk about Republicans or Democrats. THEY ARE THE SAME EVIL!


We need to form a new ENTITY (avoiding use of the word "party" is intentional, stay tuned)


THE UNITED CONSERVATIVE TEAM "TUCT"


or


The AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE TEAM "ACT"


Rather than another plague of parasites, strict term limit, conservative PLATFORM.


There won't be a three party problem. What is needed is a TRUE SECOND "party".

How large the is the Federal Government?

Rush commented today about the 2.9 TRILLION Dollar federal budget.

It truly is unfathomable.

But the average person could realize how big by simply telling them that

one part per million of the federal budget is

2.9 MILLION dollars.


Here's some more info:


Parts per hundred (denoted by "%" and very rarely "pph") — denotes one particle of a given substance for every 99 other particles. This is the common percent. One part in 10^2 (100). This is equal to 0.6 second out of a minute, or (864 seconds) 14 minutes, 24 seconds of a day (exactly).

Parts per thousand (denoted by "‰", the permille symbol, and occasionally "ppt") denotes one particle of a given substance for every 999 other particles. This is roughly equivalent to one drop of ink in a cup of water, or one second per 17 minutes. "Parts per thousand" is often used to record the salinity of seawater. One part in 10^3.

Parts per million ("ppm") denotes one particle of a given substance for every 999,999 other particles. This is roughly equivalent to one drop of ink in a 150 litre (40 gallon) drum of water, or one second per 280 hours (11 days, 16 hours). One part in 10^6 — a precision of 0.0001%.

Parts per billion ("ppb") denotes one particle of a given substance for every 999,999,999 other particles. This is roughly equivalent to one drop of ink in a lane of a public swimming pool, or one second per 32 years. One part in 10^9.

Parts per trillion ("ppt") denotes one particle of a given substance for every 999,999,999,999 other particles. This is roughly equivalent to one drop of ink in a shipping canal lock full of water , or one second every 320 centuries. One part in 10^12.

Parts per quadrillion ("ppq") denotes one particle of a given substance for every 999,999,999,999,999 other particles. This is roughly equivalent to a drop of ink in a medium-sized lake, or one second every 32,000 millennia. Very few analytical techniques can measure with this degree of accuracy; nevertheless, it is still used in some mathematical models of toxicology and epidemiology. One part in 10^15.
