A short fiction

Fiction is what this executive order is:  http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-11-15/pdf/2011-29683.pdf.

Just sayin.. he runs up more in debt than all the other presidents combined, but says he's doing "efficient spending".  People are screaming about a 1% cut in the RATE of increase, in that "it can't be done to the welfare state".  a ONE percent in the rate of growth can't be done? Note: a 1% decrease in the rate of growth would save almost a trillion dollars.

If you want to try to figure out if you want to laugh, cry, or do both at the same time, check out the Executive Order on "Efficient Spending" linked above!

    This is what really GETS me about "the anointed one"...
    If ANY of us even TRIED something like this with OUR household budgets, we'd be in a damn homeless shelter, standing in a soup line in NO time.

    Efficient spending, first off, is NOT spending MORE than you are taking in, preferably spending MUCH LESS...so you can SAVE some money...for when that unexpected "something" happens.

    This administration believes just the oppostie..and it WILL bankrupt us, as a nation.
    Make no mistake about that.

    Great post and link.

    Stay safe (and frugal) down there.

  2. Oh, I've tried the "spend my way out of debt" but it really didn't work on the Macy's card.. Hubby took it away and paid it off for me. Anyone that's ever had to work in the real world, and make money knows when there's no more...there's no more!
