HOW BIG IS A BILLION?

How big is one billion? Its sheer size is sometimes obscured by how often we say it, but it’s a truly massive, almost incomprehensibly large number. One billion seconds is 32 years. One billion pennies stacked on top of each other would make a tower 870 miles high… which is the full width of Virginia… twice.

One billion dollar bills, laid end to end, would wrap around the Earth nearly four times.

Nebraska Democratic Party Condemns Republican Desperation Ads That Prove One Thing - They Have No Answers for Nebraska Families

LINCOLN, NE - With Nebraska’s May 12th Primary Election just days away, Republican operatives are flooding mailboxes, computer screens, and airwaves with dishonest attacks on Democratic candidates - a sign not of strength, but of panic. Republicans resort to lies because their record can’t stand on its own.

“When you have nothing to offer Nebraska families, you lie about the people who do,” said Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb. “Republicans control the Governor’s mansion, the Legislature, and our congressional seats. So ask yourself: why are they this desperate to tear down our candidates instead of running on their own record?”

The answer is simple.

Under Republican leadership, Nebraska farmers are getting crushed by Trump’s tariff chaos, fertilizer costs are through the roof, and farm bankruptcies are rising. Medicaid is being gutted while working families struggle to keep up. Republicans had every opportunity to deliver for Nebraskans - and they failed.

Now, with nothing to show for it, they are trying to tie Nebraska Democratic candidates to national talking points that have nothing to do with the real issues facing our state. It won’t work.

Nebraska Democratic candidates are running on kitchen-table issues: protecting healthcare, supporting family farms, lowering costs, and holding corporations accountable. That’s a record Republicans simply cannot match - so they lie.

“The more desperate the attack, the more worried they are,” Kleeb added. “Nebraskans are smart. They know a nothing-burger smear campaign when they see one. And they know which party actually shows up for them.”

Nebraska Democrats urge voters to check the facts, ignore the noise, and vote their values on May 12th. We have Voter Guides for all 93 counties that show who the Democrats are on your ballot. Go to nebraskademocrats.org to see the Voter Guides, drop-off location for your ballot, or to find your polling location.
