Another fun strategy is OMG, I JUST BOUGHT ALL THIS STUFF AND HAVE NO MONEY BUT YOU CAN HAVE EVERY PENNY LEFT OVER AFTER MY MORTGAGE, Car payment (the kids need to be in a safe car), new motorcycle (saves $ on gas), new gym membership (I need to be healthy)... #mepolitics

...trip with my new significant other (I want to be less stressed to be a better parent), increased grocery budget (I just can't cook like you and you want the kids to have healthy veggies, right?)... Sound like the omnibus/budget? #mepolitics

When those don't work, you've set it up so that the next step is to go to court and ask for a downward deviation because you just can't live in your budget and it needs to be sustainable, so OBVIOUSLY the thing that should be cut is child support. #mepolitics

Everything else is a credit-approved, budgeted item and you income is spoken for. Plus, child support is probably bigger than all of those smaller items anyway. Sound like a balanced budget argument? #mepolitics

The economy is strong (ish), unemployment is low (ish). This is when you pay down bills, put back the $ you borrowed from the piggy bank and get your house in order for leaner times. #mepolitics

Congress is setting up to come for your social security, medicare and medicaid. They have been dipping into your piggy bank for years and not properly paying back. Want to hear the argument? #mepolitics

I took this commission job for you and have struggled to make ends meet in hope I could provide more. Why are you so obsessed with $? We cut taxes to help the ecomony and put $ back in your pocket. We thought it would work for growth, but YOU didn't spend enough. #mepolitics

I had to restructure my life to be a healthy parent with a safe car and less stress so I could be functional. Think about the vegetables, everyone loves veggies! We passed this budget so that you would have a functional government, so the troops would get paid. #mepolitics
