WHEN DOES COMMON SENSE COME IN???
I would like to know “When Common Sense is applied to the proposed budget?” I am just am country boy from Freeport, Maine but I have handled many many budgets in my career. The basic principle of budgeting is that you cannot spend more than you make. You see this basic principle applied daily in every household budget in the world with the exception of Lisbon, Maine.
