After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2000 a month; I'm going to have to cut that number by six cents. Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $1999.94, but that's what sacrifice is all about. I'll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries.

    HAHAHA. He will probably spend that $100 million tomorrow on an airplane ride and other "important" things.

    We need to draw a line on when we go save the world. We need to get a real leader in office.
