Fiscal Cliff

Budget cuts were beginning to bite at the local council

No, I didn't know they were going to cut the office furniture budget in half.

'What I don't understand is how all three of us managed to get the figures wrong!'

What's wrong with the computer you've got?"

'Going...Going...Gone! Sold to the lady with more money than sense.'

"Gas. Regular. Premium. Super. You don’t want to know."

"Basically, your new job here at the Treasury Department implementing the bailout is simple, Grayson, just grab and armful of money and run..."

'You earned this corner office by cutting corners...'

Budget Bureau. Ernie, spilling something from every food group on it, does not make it a "balanced" budget!

'According to the budget, we'll have to count on body heat to keep the offices warm.'

"Hey, honey, the credit card company increased our debt... I mean our credit limit!"

"Seriously, you can't balance the budget with cushion change."

'I used to work for the Treasury Department, but there's no future in economic forecasts.'

"Everything's gone up."

"I'm on a tight budget. Make it look like I cut at myself."

'The scariest story I know is escalating health care costs.'

"What comes after zillion?"

Occupy Budget Balancing

"This is crazy! We've been here only 10 minutes, we've spent all our money, and we've got nothing to show for it!"

'As part of our alternative budget management strategy we've got Tim on 'Hail Marys' in here and Geoff sacrificing a goat to Woden next door!'

'We're cutting back on our legal expenses and going with the violence instead.'

'Do you remember the good old days when April 15 was the only 'fiscal cliff' people worried about?'

'And finally, a steady decline in earnings has forced us to trim the presentations budget.'

'With 5% spent on talent, 5% on production, and 90% on marketing...I smell WINNER!'

'Our new simplified energy bills just have a few options starting with 'Grossly inflated' and progressing to the premium 'Bloodsucker' package. . .'

'Uh oh. I can see another few hundred will be added to your bid.'

'Carry on sailor, just keep swimming around the coast and stick your head up now and again.'

'My firm has scrutinised your budget and determined you could save a fortune by sacking us...that'll be £300,000 please!'

"So, the bills still aren't paid? You've never been good at money management."

'We've gone over your budget very carefully, Mr Thorne. Unfortunately the network does not sell 7-second spots.'

Yes, dear, I remembered the coupons and saved a few dollars. The Adventures of Marriedman.

Oil shock.

Horror Theater. Now Playing. Return of the Deficit.

Your tax $ at WAR.
