"I live on $710.00 a month, what exactly am I supposed to cut?"

287. True, so the writer can do with a $50/mth cutback.

Not only that but the writer could convert that pet into a few days of hot meals, plus some soup which, bolstered with rice or noodles, could be converted into a weeks worth of lunch.

To say nothing of the fact that these people could save us even more money by hunting down squirrels in the parks, making room for another few dollars a month cutbacks. And we're just starting our savings program, so we can pay for the bailout of Goldman Sachs and the ongoing payments to Haliburton for the Iraq war.

Problem is that so many greedy people just aren't willing to make the small easy cuts, a dollar here, a few dollars there, to pay off the debt they engender by kiting loans in a self-made financial bubble and rushing into war - but we Dems are here to show how every little dollar can be squeezed. Like, e.g., my neighbors cat. Along with a zillion other pet cats. They obviously serve no purpose and we could easily harvest them and serve them up as gourmet bbq hot-meals to the elderly, instead of paying out SS. Don't ya think?
