Following the Obama Budget Cut

[dellinger63]

The President ordered the cabinet to cut $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, household expenses, insurance, utilities, beer, betting vouchers, DRF 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 $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 $1999.94, but that's what sacrifice is all about. I'll
just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries.

If the President can do it so can I !!!! 6 cents per month saved really adds up. Almost a dollar a year and over a 50 year work career, almost $40 bucks. I'll be living the dream come retirement

Sounds good...and if your darling Republicans pound through a trillion dollar cut, I know you'll do the same!
