10 Ways How Budget Cuts Will Affect Your Life

#1 is unfair — there haven’t been any reports of horse meat being sold as beef in the US. The budget cuts will probably just mean that American hamburger meat will begin to deviate a bit from the traditional blend of 92% beef, 5% ammonia, and 3% E. coli.

That 92% beef probably also contains 30% pink slime (which is by the way a real ingredient)
And let’s be fair, just because media didn’t report it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. When did the media ever cover your plumbing repairs?

Is this the time when people living in what is popularly called the “third world” feel happy that their budget cuts have not been able to dent their pre-cut status of no pre-schools, no knee replacements, no storm warnings, no security, etc.?

It can be hard to believe, but even in the third world a government can always find ways to make things worse.

Several of these are such serious matters; that laughter is the only way to “swallow” the distaste in my mouth over this being our reality. Ugh! Well, last till its time to head to the voting booths..In the meantime, thank YOU again for adding humor to soften the blow. Laughter is so wonderful for our inner being..I’ve been stopping by often so as not to miss your next publication. I got real lucky this morning..Well, I could’ve gotten luckier; lol! but this is a good substitute for now. Sort of..

Thank you for visiting so often, and I apologize if I have disappointed you by not writing more posts 🙂
Yes, I may be laughing now, but when I head to polls in the next election, I’ll be sure to remember the sequester along with any future crises that Congress is bound to create until then.

You never disappoint me..I always prefer quality over quantity. (regarding anything actually) And yep, I’ve got my eyes and ears wide open on this end also…

As if coming up with a snazzy word for budget cuts wasn’t impressive enough, they also had a triple letter score for the “Q” in sequester.
As for the horsemeat, Rodney Dangerfield’s comment in Caddyshack springs to mind; “..this steak still has marks on it from where the jockey was hitting it”

Well, due to funding cuts on Scrabble inspections, there may not be a letter “Q” in their next Scrabble set…

Typical government inefficiency – getting rid of the Q when there’s only one in the whole set. They need to get rid of some of the A’s and E’s – they’re the ones who are mucking up the system.
LikeLike
No, those low-point hard-working letters like A and E make the whole game possible, while it’s the top 1% of Q’s and Z’s that make about 40% of all the points! I say this game is rigged! Occupy Scrabble!

Haha, loved number 6! Though I could only sound out some of the words, I was able to put it together that you were complimenting my precocious reading ability. Thanks!

Thank you! Judging by your bearded face avatar, you are one mature-looking pre-schooler. 🙂 Also, it’s amazing that you can write but not yet read, but guess that could happen if your reading teacher is laid off while your writing instructor keeps her job. 🙂
