Support for the President's Budget Reductions

Really reducing our debt?

The President ordered the cabinet to cut a whopping $100 million from the $3.5 trillion federal budget!

I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I spend about $2000 a month on groceries, medicine, bills, etc, but it's time to get out the budget cutting ax, go line by line through my expenses, and go to work like the Prez.

I'm going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio -1/35,000 of my total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2000 a month; I'm going to have to tighten the belt and cut that number by ... six cents!

Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $1999.94, but that's what sacrifice is all about when you support the Prez. I'll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries.

In my case, I'm going to cut out buying one malted milk ball a month. What about you?

Our Politicians...... what a bunch of half wits.
