Imagine  negotiating the household budget for the family…

Hubby says,”For every dollar you budget for food, clothing, utilities, and the mortgage, I get to budget a dollar for fishing and hunting stuff!”

Wife says, “Have you lost your mind?”

Now, change the scene to Washington D.C. Hubby becomes Obama/Boehner, and wife becomes the House of Representatives…

Obahner says, “For every dollar you budget for military spending we get to budget a dollar for non-military spending!”

House of Reps says, “Deal!”

True story. (By the way, the Army is currently at its lowest level since the 40’s).
