Married to the GOP - Family Budget "Discussions"
Edited on Fri Jul-29-11 11:16 PM by ThoughtCriminal
Well, your spouse finally admits that the family's growing debt is a problem. Income dropped quite a bit after we got the big pay cut he/she had been demanding. Also, spending almost half the family budget on guns and ammo every month hasn't helped either.

The family meeting on how to pay the bills did not go well. We're not allowed to discuss looking for a paying better job, moonlighting, buying fewer guns, and fewer parties with drinking buddies. No, only cutting back on retirement savings (which was spent on ammo anyway), food, clothes and books for the kids can be "On the table".

And if we can't cut back on those things, we'll just skip paying the bills. What could happen? Penalties, higher interest rates, power gets shut off? Why are you worried about that? With all these guns, we can find a "2nd Amendment Solution" at the liquor store!

2. Happens all the time
I'd bet at least 25% of all mysterious unrecs are misfires.
