.....you may want to also!

I'm going to bite the bullet. 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 you know so people understand how idiotic a $100 million cut is in a $3.5 trillion budget – ludicrous!!!!!!!

Already done look at our currency.

The NWO is hoping to keep sheep at bay long enough to make an overwhelming number dependent, drugged and imprisoned before pitchforks and torches come out.

I laugh at the meaninglessness of stuff like this.

Guess $100 million just isn't what it used to be.

I guess neither is $0.06.

Sadly, when you put things into perspective, as the OP has, it is not laughable.

To further put things into perspective, looking at a few American military aircraft costs.

F-18 Hornet cost $94 million.

F-22 Raptor $350 million.

B-2 Spirit $2.4 billion.

Yup! $100 Million, ain't what it used to be at all. Heck, the top 10 most expensive privately owned yachts in the world all cost over $100 million.

Yes it is. Its absurdity makes me chuckle.

It is absurd indeed. I edited my post to futher put things into perspective.

HAY! You're supposed to be OUTRAGED by the FACT that that Dem President is lying to us with that there math trickery!

Just another day, has there been one when he hasn't ?

Your comment is fairly right (as in correct, not the political spectrum- LOL!). I have just become numb to this norm over the years. It's all bullchit no matter who is President and who controls the Legislature. That doesn't mean it is acceptable to me, just that I don't feel it is worth getting upset over because it isn't going to change IMO. Others see it all differently...

U got that right Robert

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas sir.

I shall resume my disgust for our government after the holiday

Merry Christmas

Dem President lying to us with math trickery OUTRAGE!!! Better? Have a great Christmas/Holiday Season, Brewha.

Yep, it's the ''becoming numb to to this'' that is disturbing.

Obama isn't good with Math beyond 7th grade level, by his own admission.
Maybe that's why we don't have a budget these past 3-4 yrs.

Loony Libs apply this kind of phony analysis/logic to many 'issues', like
global warming, ballot counting, healthcare costs, etc. DC can't accurately
estimate the cost of anything, because the pork barrel can always be
refilled, unfortunately... from taxpayer's pockets and Fed printing presses.
'Pork' causes prices of anything DC wants to rise significantly over the public
sector prices. Can you say $600 toilet seats and hammers?

I say go over the cliff, and do some real cuts to gov't overall. 15% across
the board is a good start. Then, listen to the pigs squeal!

Oh yeah...

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Why is being "numb" disturbing?

a hunded mill in my account would mean somethin to me.
