Numeric Perspectives

In these times of significant debate over issues like the Federal budget, world population and immigration, it may be helpful to get a "feel for the numbers" involved.  Here are two presentations from this blog's followers that may quickly give you such perspective.  The first is less than two minutes long while the second is about five minutes.  Each is worth your time to view.

Federal Budget:
What is all the fuss about?

Population and Immigration: 
http://www.numbersusa.org/   Watch the first one using gum balls - consider that the US population is about 300,000,000 and that the world population is just under 7,000,000,000.   (I have not watch any of the others.  Please let me know your favorites, if you do.)
