The Unbalanced Scales

“When you are in deep conflict about something, sometimes the most trivial thing can tip the scales.”

Ethel Merman

What if this was your annual household budget?

ANNUAL FAMILY INCOME: $21,700

What if this was what you spent? MONEY THE FAMILY SPENT: $38,200

What if you had a credit card... and you used it.... a lot?

NEW DEBT ON THE CREDIT CARD: $16,500 BALANCE ON THE CREDIT CARD: $142,710

What if you only cut this from your budget?

TOTAL HOUSE HOLD BUDGET CUTS: $385

Pretty crazy huh? It just doesn't make any fiscal sense at all huh? Your probably saying ... "why would anyone run their household budget that way?" Their bank balance would be in the red all the time!

But .... Did these numbers look familiar to you?

Hi Jay!

What seems to have caused you to excerpt your own material?

[humblegunner]

Hi Jay!

It looks like you just post excerpts from your blog and make no comments.

What might be the reason for that?

If not they should… add nine zeros to each one and you have the current budget of the Federal Government;

Actually only eight.

21,700 --> 2,170,000,000,000.

Also the total debt looks like it was a year behind.

You have asked some interesting questions there, Gunner.

Here's a quote from jaypounder (The Pride of Mead Senior High School) -

"If your asking why I post only excerpts, it is due to the formatting that Blogger provides me. If I could carry over the formatting from my site to here. I would do it in a heart beat." (sic)

Subsequent to that, Mr. Pounder was instructed by another FReeper on how to copy his blog and retain his format. I myself have done if for him several times to show him just how easy it is.

But, sadly, it appears that Jay Pounder (one of the finest Assistant Bank Managers Spokane has ever known) is not just a Blog Pimp, but in addition he is a lying Blog Pimp.

As a corollary observation, Jay Pounder's command of written English is very tenuous, especially in the areas of syntax, sentence structure and pesky little things like to, too and two, their, there and they're and the ever popular your and you're.

Form ~is~ function, Jay.

Ethel Merman Ping!
