Citizen doing her part... Thanks Alma Holl!

Isn't this true empathy, Alma?

This expression of strong support for President Obama's current financial policies come from a housewife, mother of two children with two grandchildren. She certainly understands the need to cut expenses whenever possible. I admire her strength of resolve







Subject: Biting the bullet on expenses

It's tough but we all need to do our part.



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.

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 cut that number by six cents!

Yes, I'm going to have to get by with just $1999.94, but that's what

sacrifice is all about. I'll just have to do without some

things, that are, frankly, luxuries.
