City workers remove trash bins in one of Colorado Springs' parks, an effort to close a nearly $30 million budget gap.

If you come to a neighborhood park in Colorado Springs, plan on bringing your own trash bags.

To save money, the city has removed the trash cans.

Need to catch a bus? Don't try on evenings or weekends. The city has cut that service, too.

And when the sun goes down, Colorado Springs is going to look a little bit dimmer. Crews are removing a third of the city's streetlight to save money on electricity and light bulbs.
This is the same as removing your toilet to save on toilet paper...

My gym (ULU Malet St Bloomsbury) has removed the free shower gel dispensers to save costs! Not stopping refilling them, but removing them all together, so the punters don't feel like they're not gettin it any more! Cheek!

It has cost the West $1.6 Trillion (http://www.politicaltheatrics.net/2010/02/israel-has-cost-usa-1-6-trillion-since-1973/) to house Jews in Israel, and so far $965,276,593,897 has been spent as well keeping Islam at Bay, so in another year or so the rest of the Mid East would of caught up with Israel and then the entire region will be dependent on Western welfare.
