Explanation Of Entitlements

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!!!!!!!

One is by sword...
The other is by debt."

I believe its cump change, but you got to start somewhere, there is no golden pot at the end of the rainbow there will be no one big fat check to pay of the debt. So cut here cut there. I believe the President needs to cut his expenses, the white house needs to cut their expenses and congress needs a pay cut and a benefit cut. They are public servants, not kings and queens living off of old money.
