Your attempt at an "example" doesn't work because it misconstrues the President's plans. See......analogies only work when they are accurate...otherwise they just come across as silly tripe.Try this simple experiment with your boss. Explain that you now spend 40% more than your salary supports, yet have carefully studied your budget and can make no cuts. The only "fair" solution, that you can come up with, is to receive an immediate salary increase of 10%, in return for which you will do nothing extra, at all, on the job, but will spend it quickly, as you will still have a budget deficit of 36%, and be back next year (month?) to ask for even more compensation as a just reward for your fine work and personal spending habits.
When your boss stops laughing, and then suggests that a substance abuse test may be in order, you will get the explanation that you deserve.
