Billion$ and Billion$

So, I've got this video I want you to see. It talks about 8 billion dollars, and then 20 billion dollars.

But before watching it, please watch these two videos:

#1 Obama proposed a $100 million budget cut. This video puts that into perspective, using pennies -- something children can understand.

#2. After being criticized for the nearly meaninglyess $100 million cut, Obama came out with a new proposal for $17 billion in "cuts". This video puts that into perspective, using toothpicks -- something children can understand. At the same time reveals why "cut" doesn't mean "cut".

Finally, the video I mainly want you to see which I got excited about, by TED, which is a meeting of genius inventors and technologists who get together and give presentations.
