I'm doing what the President requested .............

We are cutting out spending. Biting the bullet - cutting expenses. OK, Mr. President, we will do our share...................

I HOPE YOU WILL PARTICIPATE AND DO YOUR PART

The President ordered the cabinet to cut $100 million from the $3.5 trillion federal budget.

I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that we have decided to do the same thing with our personal budget. We spend about $2000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine, rent, utilities, etc, but it's time to get out the budget cutting axe, go through our expenses, and cut back.

We are going to cut our spending at exactly the same ratio, 1/35,000 of our total budget.

After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2000 a month, we are going to have to cut that number by six cents.

Yes, we are going to have to get by with $1999.94, but that's what sacrifice is all about. We'll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries. We have agreed to DO WITHOUT penny candy, which is pretty hard to find, anyway.
