Subject: Bite the bullet
Isn't the pres. doing a GREAT
job???
I'm going to bite the bullet, too!!!!
Will you join me!
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
"There
are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation...
One is by
sword...
The other
is by debt."
