Democrats don’t understand math nor common sense.

I also have to add that in this scenario, the “tax the rich” crowd is saying that they would get the extra job to cover the spending. That extra job would add $80 of income to their budget.....

Why can’t the theives elected be like the widowed mother with two children, If she does not have the money she’ll do without.

Oh wait that is much to difficult for the elected morons to understand.

Mac Daddy and his merry band of morons sold their souls to so many people and these people want a return for their support so scre* the peons.

If they passed a law saying that debts/bills ran up by family members were automatically passed onto related decendents (offspring) more families would act like the government.... in fact... a big part of the Federal governments spending is related to families NOT paying their bills, their mortages, other bills.

[ex-snook]

My take is this. If I did not have enough income to provide for my family, I would increase my income. Like get a better job or a second job. What I would not do is to put my family on dog food or tell my sick child, he has to live with it. The government should increase it’s income.

If their household income was $55,000 per year, they’d actually be spending $96,500—$41,500 more than they made! That means they’re spending 175% of their annual income!

The problem of course is that far too many people in this country think nothing of living their own lives this way. They don't see any sort of problem in having maxed out credit cards and other massive debts for cars they can't afford or educations for which they overpaid.

These people become voters who support politicians who borrow our way into oblivion.

Biting the bullet - cutting expenses.
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 I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I spend about $2000 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 $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.

(Did the president actually think no one would do the math?)

Yup, wait until you can AFFORD something BEFORE you buy it.

There are a number of things I would like to “amputate’ in Washington DC.

My list would get me a long time out from Mr Robinson, I fear.
