I live on $710.00 a month, what exactly am I supposed to cut?
by Horace Boothroyd III
My rent is a reasonable $209.00 because I have a HUD Cube. For how long?, who knows?
That leaves me with $501.00
Phone $35.00 a month.
That leaves me with $466.00
Internet is $45.00 dollars a month.
That leaves me with $421.00
My medication is $50.00 a month, counting bare bones OTC care too.
That leaves me with $371.00
Pootie care is another $50.00 a month-not including vet and tag costs.
That leaves me with $321.00
I had to borrow $140.00 last month because the vet bill the previous month left me behind.
That leaves me with $181.00
With that I'm expected to feed myself for a month. But also maintain grooming standards with products for me because of my skin sensitivities and allergies are extremely expensive. I make what I can to avoid allergens and to reduce costs but there are many things I can't make. Toothbrushes, toilet paper, trash bags, many cleaning products. I try to get clothes from the discount store, or thrift stores. Shoes too, I should be getting special ones but I lack the fortitude to break the HMO bureaucratic maze to get them. But shoes are a large recurring expense for me because I do walk so much.
I also have learned to cook everything I eat from scratch. Again because of finances and allergies. But food is not inexpensive. I can drink the generic coffee at $12.00 a can and I can buy bulk size foods at the restaurant supply. But by the end of the first week it is usually doubtful I will have more than one hundred dollars left.
Today after getting all things covered, with the exception of some food stuffs I'm just going to have to go without.
I have a grand total of $18.00.
No worries. I get to start all over again on the first.
But what exactly am I being wasteful with?
And more importantly after thirty years of 'compassionate' conservatism don't you think it is time for some Humanism instead?

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

Get me into Washington, just think of what I could find....Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.

We could say they are spending like drunken sailors. That would be unfair to drunken sailors, they're spending their OWN money.

How about get rid of the pet?
Or pad the grocery budget by eating it...We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.

If the fellow who fancies himself to be "Q" of James Bond fame had not spent the last three years penning more than one DailyKook diary per day and spending whatever free time he has protesting and organizing Kos meetups, he might be able to find one of the thousands of jobs available with very low skill and education requirements in Portland, like this one which would have him pulling in a minimum of $2273/month, pre-tax:
Requirements
Contact Center Representative Qualifications:
2+ years of recent experience working in a call center, providing customer service to clients is required.
3+ years of excellent customer service experience is required.
Must be a flexible, professional, team player, who’s not afraid to ask questions.
Must be able to pass a Drug Screen, Background Check and Education Verification.
Ah shit. Nevermind.Olde-style, states' rights conservative. Ask if this concept confuses you.

And ditch the $35/month cell phone (doubtless with the data plan) and get a free phone from the government. He meets the qualifications.

What? Spend ANOTHER $35 of taxpayer money???? Think man.....THINK!
I just saved about 12% of he/she/its monthly income.... and you want them to squander another 5%????
It's exactly this kind of thinking that has gotten us to this point... Da net and da pet, gotta go...Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.
