You won't get exactly that output, but I usually do a similar thing as 
follows:

~ Monthly since 2015/01/01
  Expenses:Rent  $500
  Assets

~ Weekly since 2015/01/01
  Expenses:Groceries  $100
  Assets

~ Bimonthly since 2015/01/01
  Assets:Checking  $100
  Income:Salary

ledger budget --now 2015/12/31 expenses income

Enjoy,
Life
