“Hey, honey! I just mortgaged our house to buy all the G.I. Joe figurines on ebay. We’re now going to have to file for bankruptcy. But, at least I saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico.”
How is the above phrase different from this:
“The Obama administration today unveiled details of a $3.4 trillion federal budget for the fiscal year beginning in October, a proposal that includes substantial increases for a number of domestic priorities as well as a plan to trim or eliminate 121 programs at a savings of $17 billion.”
“President Barack Obama is seeking $81 billion more in spending on domestic initiatives in his record $3.55 trillion budget plan while calling on Congress to trim $17 billion worth of programs, including tax breaks for the oil and gas industries.”
“Obama on Thursday released details of the spending cuts, most of which were announced during or after the initial roll-out of his $3.5 trillion budget in February. Fiscal year 2010 begins on October 1.”
I can’t take it anymore!
