Does he still have a staff of personal chefs? Can't his wife cook his dinner, he survived on it before he was elected.

If the budget needs to be cut back, we should start with the government and their spending habbits. iF I have to stick to a grocery budget, so should they. They shouldn't be dining on filet migon while the rest of the country is struggling to buy 73% hamburger. Shame on them for not cutting their pay when their housing is provided, their electricity is provided, their food is provided. They should be the first to cut back on themselves.

Furlough them all and start over.

his spending isn't the problem
Obama to Boehner: 'We Don't Have a Spending Problem'

I meant that as why are we supposed to cut back and none of congress will be effected. Oh or the kiddies on welfare. We are on the same side!

no money for salaries, but dang if the public work crews aren't out there today putting down new MULCH...on top of mulch... and painting walls within buildings... what the heck!?!? makes ZERO sense... nothing more aggravating than driving in to work contemplating how the bills will be paid when we lose 22 days over 5 months...1 day a week...and they are spreading mulch around the buildings...to "make it pleasing to the eye". seriously? grrrr......

Really it was Obongo who gave them a raise. Remember the thread about Biden getting a really big raise. The rest were in that one.

Well in keeping with the spirit of the OP today's direction from above can only mean even more draconian measures are to come.
Hence forth thou shall not print or copy as paper and toner are in extremely short supply.
I've also noticed a shortage of paper towels in the restrooms and talk is it will soon be BYOTP to work.
Also on the horizon is the one flush rule - only flush once, at the end of the day. This will avoid wasting thousands of gallons of water each day.

This is a waste of government funds. This should be privately funded by the traveler. It's clearly not a necessity.

There, more money saved!

Ummm, not sure if you are joking, but we have been told not to print unless absolutely life or death and it was also mentioned that we may want to consider keeping a roll of TP at our desks just in case our supplies are not replenished.
