Peter and Paul

Cut the budget Cut the fraud Cut the bullcrap Cut the lies Cut, cut, cut it out! Finding ways to reduce spending while spending is diabolical. Spending millions on a military parade is waste management at its finest. What in the Big Beautiful Baffling Bill is going on? When I was young we use to say, “Robbing Peter to pay Paul.” The “rich” are probably clueless to this saying, but the struggling people lived, know and understand the meaning of this statement. “Robbing Peter to pay Paul” meant, taking from one to give to another. More like, taking from one end to make ends meet on another end. For example, taking some of the money from the light bill to put that money on the water bill. Ssh, the way I see it, when it comes to this administration, it’s robbing Peter and Paul.
