sleeping and playing games while on the public dole!

Subject: Do you think that political leaders are worth their wages!

Why politicians need our surveillance!


Do not forget for this year's income tax report,
 to list the names of the Members of Parliament and Senators
 as your "dependants".




MP's at work :a nice wage at 10,000 $/month.




Siesta courtesy of the taxpayer at 8,000/month



A little bit or reading on the side at 11,000 $/month.



Writing your mail at the expense of the tax payer ..



Dammit, this job is so hard! I deserve a raise.



How I miss my rocking chair!
I'm not sleeping, I'm thinking about the laws of retirement.



This is not what it looks like!
I'm thinking!



Maybe I'm getting too old for those all night parties?!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


NOW  WE UNDERSTAND WHY THIS JOB IS SO MUCH WANTED!!


IT IS IDEAL TO CATCH UP ON MISSED SLEEP AFTER EXHAUSTING TRAVELS WHILE WAITING SERENELY FOR RETIREMENT OR FOR A REWARD IN CASE OF A LOST RE-ELECTION...
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
You probably thought that only Canadian MPs are behaving worse than children!

 


This Picture is worth a Trillion $$$   
     
 House Minority Leader  Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a  new budget. (AP)
The guy sitting in the row in front of these two...he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.
These are the folks that couldn't get the budget out by Oct. 1, and are about to control your health care, cap and trade, and the list goes on and on.
Should we buy them larger screen computers - or - a ticket home, permanently?

This is one of their 3-DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for (salary is about $179,000 per year).

    A Calgary MP who was caught sleeping in the House of Commons during Question Period last year apologized for his comments this week after he was accused of doing it again.

    1. Dereliction of duty:

      In the military if you get caught sleeping on the job
      you are considered to be in "delelicttion of duty" ...wch is grounds for being courtmarshalled!

      Clearly "doing the job for wch one is being paid" does not have the same meaning when you're elected to the
      legislature (parliament or congress)!!

  5. The main prerequisite for membership in this club must be an incapacity to feel embarrassment or shame!
    If they are doing this out in the open in front of 30 million people...you can imagine what must go on behind the scenes

  12. The Canadian institution of the "Senate" serves no useful function.
    It is a drain on the taxpayer to the tune of $ per year!
    It should be abolished by process of referendum in the next federal election.

    2. Duffy is "not guilty"! Mike Duffy acquited of "fraud" and "breach of trust" on all counts

      Duffy innocent;Harper and his minions in the PMO guilty

      Conservative senator, Mike Duffy, exonerated
      of fraudulently using taxpayer money for personal gain.

      The judge said that Duffy sought out experts’ advice on the issue of primary residence, and that his conduct was “honest and reasonable.” He said there wasn’t any “sinister motive” on Duffy’s part. .." Duffy had no intention to deceive or defraud.
      Judge says Duffy was credible and sought advice from both the Senate and PMO.
      It appears that it was the Senate and the PMO that failed to properly exercise their oversight roles and thereby failed the taxpayer...and have attempted to throw Mike Duffy under the bus out of political expediency
      by way of covering their own negligence.
      Judge criticizes the rules(the rules and the process were ambiguous) of the Senate and the advice Mike Duffy received from the PMO wch he had no choice but to follow.
      The Senate and PMO wch vetted and approved his "expenses" receive judge's scathing  condemnation.
      Duffy repeatedly sought and received reassurances from the Conservative government that he was doing nothing wrong. Judge delivers scathing rebuke of the role of PMO's office.
      In any other business or occupation Duffy's actions of padding expense accounts would be both immoral and illegal....but judge says Senate rules allowed it.
      In other words, Senate administrative  rules entitle/allow senators to ripoff the taxpayer.

  27. We shoild pray for all those in posittions of authority.

    Politicians should be thanked for public service.
    We have placed them in their positions
    because we believed them to be most capable and most trustworthy to create good policy and laws.

    Its not healthy to rob oneself of a good snooze!
    These people who are nodding off on the job are probably sleep-deprived becuz they are working hard on our behalf.

    In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other. Voltaire (1764)

    Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you!Pericles (430 B.C.)
