How are you saving the government money?

I think I'm one of the entitled I keep reading about in countless articles and letters in the paper and online. I receive a little more than $700 a month from the government. My medical expenses are but co-pays after the taxpayer's dollar. I have a television, a computer and a car that were bought for me. I also have a disabling illness. That $700 a month is what I'm “entitled” to live off from Social Security disability.

I am still not deaf and blind to the crisis this nation faces in our debt disagreement. Wondering what I could do, I looked at some of the state and county medical programs I am enrolled in on your tax dollar, evaluated what was worth keeping at the imagined expense to the rest of the population, and opted out of several. I think I'm saving about a grand a month by asking for less services. So, what are the rest of you doing to cut back?
