At the end of the month, I'd have a few bucks left. But then thinking I'm going to be doing this for a couple of years to pay for past expenditures, I'd hop into the truck, go down to the liquor store, and buy a gallon of pretty good booze. Because I know that as soon as I amass the cash, I'm going to need to spend a pile to protect it. Great way to live eh? Two constants Death and Taxes.Dont believe it, read the first few lines of Luke regarding Jesus.
Ah come on man. Your trying to justify your liberal feelings by giving up and saying you can't live on less. The gubment could cut alot of pork and programs and head in the proper direction but they choose not to. It's easier to get more and spend more than it is to cut back and spend less.
