Seems to me that alot of these folks at the World Bank and also the UN would have no problems finding jobs with Blackpool Tower circus, being so adept at juggling and spining things. We have this whole new industry of 'professional' civil servants/diplomats, most of them failed politicians given jobs for life without any oversight from anyone ,wether it be the EU in Brussels/Strasbourg , the UN in New York or these quasi official policy groups in DC .
re. Wolfowitz , the problem I have here is , if as reported in the WSJ he was at a management level 4 levels above his girlfriend why was it necessary for him to sign off on her pay increase, surley this is a decision that should have been made by the ' personnell dept.' or does the chairman of the World Bank review every employee pay increase ? It seems to me we are in a situation of you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours, But and its a big but , are these folks not public employees (civil servants) and not employees of some private company where obscene salaries and bonuses are allowed at shareholders expense. Seems to me morality and ethics fly out of the window, and since when have employees of the US govt been exempt from paying taxes (the US Govt. owns 20% of the World Bank) the only exemption/tax break I know of for regular US citizens is the '510' rule where you have to be out of the country for 18 months.
Seems to me we are getting to the stage where the conspiricy theorists are right and we are heading for a new world order , but thats a subject for another day as is George Bushs decision to open up the US highways in the lower 48 to trucks from south of the border ...........
