I’m Cutting Back And You May Want To Also

Another email from Richard:

“I’m cutting back and you may want to also….I’m going to bite the bullet, too!!!!

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!!!!!!!”
