The savings is expected to reduce the federal budget by nearly 0.00028%...I guess, Sen. (You know, I served in Viet-Nam) Kerry, Was "Jet-skiing" in the French Rivera , that month.... so he couldn't lobby agaist it.

Although I know this is a joke. Think about this. Cutting fancy ketchup would have a greater effect on my personal food budget than that $100 million does on the federal budget.
On a $200 grocery bill, the differnce between the pricey ketchup and the mid grade is about 30 cents, or .15%. That is 56 times greater than Obama’s $100 million cut.
Of course you would have to first spend about $5000 on scotch, cigars, and prime steak to get the full picture of what saving that 30 cents means.

I was expecting a “If I had a million dollars” (by the Bare Naked Ladies) reference. In the song they mention how if they had a million dollars (which they did, and more, eventually) they’d buy fancy “dijon” ketchup, and so on.

Each Royal in the Royal 100 Club cost we taxpayers $8,000,000.00 + and each member of the so called House cost we tax payers $1,800,000.00 +.
This of course does not include the people in charge which get another $20,000,000.00 + and the bonuses paid to civilian workers in the range of several billion dollars.
And it does not include the private transportation for those in charge and the private planes for the big gurus./

Such sacrifice. I hope this will make it easier on their collective conscience when their automatic pay raise comes around again.
