President Obama
ordered the cabinet to cut $100,000,000.00 ($100 million) from the
$3,500,000,000,000.00 ($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 $2,000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine,
utilities, etc., but it ' s time to get out the budget cutting axe, go through
my expenses, and cut back.
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 $2,000 a month, I 'm going to have
to 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.
I 'll just have to
do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries ��� six cents
worth.
Did
this President actually think no one would do the math? Please send this to
everyone on your list so people understand how idiotic a $100 million cut is in
a $3.5 trillion budget . . .ludicrous.
