& The public got a 75 cent minimum wage increase shameful

Crazy

Just like an Indian would

Liberal elites - zero shame. POS.

Definition of work in Canada

CathySt35873400 Must be nice while others had to close their businesses

crflames Awesome Deserves every penny!

WTF?

Of course, she did.

She deserves it SMH.

What does she even do?

I'd be smiling like that too if I got a $40,000.00 raise, but sadly this liberal government has proven time and time again it has more money for it's corrupt party and friends than it does for the rest of Canadians.

This is outrageous

Pretty sad. She does even less than the Royals in Britain.

And a $340000 pension for life. For what? How would our lives be different if we didn't have a GG?

Yes….Canada is broken under Trudeau and his Liberals! TrudeauBrokeCanada TrudeauMustGoNow

That’s obscene

SHAME ON YOU

Pathetic

Wow, the raise amount is more than a lot of Canadians earn in a year. With today's inflation, it doesn't even buy as much as it did 2 years ago. So, why exactly does the GG deserve such an extravagant raise on the backs of taxpayers?

Useless position and a waste of taxpayers money.

A happy old lady

PaolaQP1231 Liberal Logic: Her $100k international catering bill will no longer be permitted, so we’ll give $40k, and that means we’ve made $60k! 🙄🤣

That’s not right

Governor General is a made up wasted position, absolutely no need for this position.

She should refuse this too high amount. The middle class in Canada is rapidly impoverished and the low-income no longer eats.

Of course she did. Corruption starts at the top.

Outrageous. Time for a protest convoy. That's a big 10-4 big buddy. over

For staying quiet in the corner while “her” people, the FNs, are genocided. What a legacy!

Way to much. She's not really royalty and not really needed. Don't know what the total budget is for her and staff and travel etc but it's time to stop the waste. Cancel the position now.

Criminal General

Time to get rid of the position of GG

This position is a total waste of taxpayer money. Its all money for nothing. Everything for free. It is not necessary and should be scrapped. Folks, we need to spend out tax money a lot more wisely, especially when it comes to pomp and ceremony.

Oh NO!!! What the hell is this?

Lobster Bisque. Lobster Thermidor. Whole Lobster. Lobster Tail. Steak and Lobster. Poached Lobster. Lobster Mac and Cheese. Lobster Gnudi. BBQ Lobster. Lobster Newberg. Curry Lobster. Lobster Roll… ChopChop MoreButter

She seems to be losing her native heritage

For what This woman does nothing useful for citizens of this country except spend hard earned tax dollars for private use. Fire her!

Whats with ALL the government increases all over Canada especially during times like these . Why dont ya just kick us in the balls ffs

I bet she has access to running water too!

An extra salary lol

They are already over paid do nothing people

Well she does speak three languages

We don't need this position at all. Waste of hardworking Canadians tax dollars... Seriously, what's her job?

How much did Galen Weston get in bonuses during this time?

If our government officials directly felt the effects of inflation and the other financial issues effecting the people of our struggling nation, then they may be more inclined to do something about it. They don’t have to cut anything from their lives like most Canadians.

What a complete waste of money! Get rid of this stupid political appointment

Well deserved.

franco_nomics For what 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Thank your local nazi I mean liberal voter.

This proves that Governor General role is completely waste of Canada tax dollars with literally no benefit to us, not sure which party liberal_party NDP or PierrePoilievre has the guts to cut this white elephant out?

That’s to compensate for the 100k$ food service that she’s entitled to but can no longer get.

Why

I gotta laugh when Trudeau and Freeland well up in front of the cameras and tell Canadians they feel our pain.

It was a bribe

Where you at theJagmeetSingh? Cut out this government waste (GG AND everything else) and you could fund your programs. I’d swing from CPC to NDP in a heartbeat if you actually supported the people instead of your pockets. Unfortunately I’m stuck voting for the least worst option

What the F*ck for? She does almost nothing to earn it, and besides, she's fetted as Royalty daily.

Payette who was basically fired collects a $150K/year pension and can collect expenses up to $206K for life plus another 6 months after she dies! The 5 former governors general who are still living will collect a total of $18 million if they live to age 90! How wasteful is that!!

Time to get rid of this wasteful, useless position and save tax payers at least $400k per year . Payette was a disaster and I don't expect Mary Simon will be any better!!

While the rest of the country suffers. The Governor General spot in government really needs to be abolished anyway...its just really a waste of taxpayer dollars.

I live when my taxes can make others rich, its just sick!

And a $Million travel budget for life.

We don't need her. Canada needs to get rid of that position.

raytoutofer Personally, I don't think this woman knows which end is up. I think she was hired for her subservient attitudes. Other than that, I'd be tempted to think maybe pay raise a bribe...

All you ragers out there! MPs got two pay raises during covid! I guess NP doesn't like to show the whole truth and you all lap it up.

Not pandemic, say plandemic

Get rid of the Governor General. It's a useless position.

We should get rid of this “ Useless “ position before considering if we should become a “ Republic “.

Unfurling real !!!!!!

...Nazi Post...

yet people still go out and vote lol !!!! Keep it going folks it will just get worst !

Shameful

Some people work a whole year to earn that kind of money.

Let me fix that headline: 'While you were forced out of work for being 'non-essential' the most useless government position in the western world got the equivalent of a $20/hr salary bump.'

Canadians can’t afford the “liberal” government!

This after her photo op trip to Dubai that cost over a million with 100 grand plus for in-flight meals to and from for 19 or 20 in her entourage.

$342,100?

If it's true, then gross.

Well they needed tl bribe someone to make the fix stick!

This job is the biggest scam for taxpayers. Expense accounts. And trips ? For what a hand shake ?

Guarantee she wasn't late to pick up her paycheck

This is the government trying to make Canadians hate the monarchy because they can't stand Canada having a distinct identity.

That doesn’t seem right or fair to Canadians.

But she’s indigenous….

How could you Madam GG even accept such a raise in the middle of a pandemic when so many Canadians lost their livelihoods totally?

The formula for determining the GGs pay may be unfair, but my guess is it has been in place for a long time.

Insulting... goes along with the ridiculous spending from the GG as well.

That's more than I make in a year...whoa!

Whataboutism. CdnMediaFailed

Mooch.

It's so easy to phase out all this nonsense

Wow and Senors get $36 a month we are below the poverty level after 40 years of service to this country disgraceful

Great…let’s become a republic! Good stuff NP, now we know how you feel about the GG and current Monarchical system!

Laughing a the way to the bank, undesirable GG......

Dushbag useless

Life is good in liberal government

Governor General job description not needed anymore in Canada. Liberals just paying off cronies with fake jobs.

WOW, did anyone expect her to refuse the raise, their all the same!

Why on earth does this position even exist I am guessing they need to eat their beef Wellington while we skip meal . Also aren’t we against all those buzz words yet we support monarchy that is appointed by the queen who killed millions in colonialism .. what a joke this gov is .

And donated it to struggling indigenous communities.. just kidding.. extra caviar on those flights to Norway pls GGCanada

would be much cheaper for taxpayers and just as worthwhile,, if we had a monkey as governor general,, instead of the current oinker

Get rid of this position.

For an office that doesn't pick up the phone.

another government pig just got richer

Way ta go! Just awesome 🤬

Get rid of the monarchy crap in Canada, we need Canadian Head of State, not damn colonial bs.

Corruption

For what?

But the life saving nurses got nothin BS

GGCanada Mary Simon,official visit to Finland was caught in a scandal when she, husband Whit Fraser, and a planeload of dignitaries jetted off to Expo 2020 in Dubai on an RCAF transport plane, a $1.15 million trip and over $100,000 inflight catering costs. What a disgrace

Disgusting. She should have to pay that back plus interest and fines.

Typical Liberal — does little, produces even less, still reaps rewards for “good intentions.” Useless GG with zero charisma and sense of the historical significance of her position. Clearly sees it as a post to focus solely on Indigenous issues at the expense of everything else

And expenses: $100 K in-flight catering bill:

The ultimate slap in the face to all of those who became unemployed b/c of covid19 and were forced to do cerb , EI et al. cdnpoli TrudeauMustGo

Must be nice

And THAT is what’s wrong with this country

Thats ridiculous

Incroyable et incompétence flagrante au fédéral.

Of course she did, which politician/govt employee didnt?

Embarrassment to her nation.

never seen this person before

On top of her Ambassador pension too?

While we all were coerced into experimentation, job loss, loss of our homes, lives and liberty. Sick evil government we have following a purely evil agenda!

Seriously . This is bullshit .

Price of siding with the Red team. Canada isn’t sovereign by design

Of course she did.

The last one stole thousands….did she pay it back? Now this one gets massive raise….for staying at home during the pandemic

Since she reports to the King, he should pay her Salary from the money they German British royals generate from all their scandals

Wow 👌 niceeee

Didn’t everyone?

WOW only liberals could authorize such a disgrace

She has One Job only and she showed up late for the Remembrance Day Ceremony.

SplendidIsolat2 The GG is a joke. No need to have one. A waste of $.

Liberal privilege

Greedy, over paid, trough feeder!

Why do we need a GG again?

The government has nothing but contempt for we the taxpayer. The sooner everyone realizes this the sooner we can demand change.

Now that the Government Covid Era is Ending, Will Her Wages be Rolled back,or Will it be Layoffs.

Did she apply for CERB too?

And why not? The GG is now a member of the exclusive Ottawa-based PATT Club, joining MPs, Senators and top bureaucrats as Pigs At The Trough. Enjoy.

lindco22 That's how you shut up these bureaucrats. Hand out more taxpayers' money.

Of course she did what corrupt politicians or doctors did not is the question

She is TOTALLY CORRUPT!

What a joke Canada has become.

Nice. A bigger raise than many Canadian's annual income. At lease she did well on that trip to Dubai

And why we need GG?

Those beautician happy life has to end!! Please end this positions , they are not need it ! I m not paying taxes for them ! No

Of course she did. All these guys took extra money from the taxpayer

Of course she did. Barely a peep from the MSM, rare exception, the NDP doesn't raise a finger, the taxpayer continues to get screwed with govt inflation...

she is so corrupt

Liberal P-gs... Let Canadians Eat Cake CanadaIsBroken

justinmuatgo

These people are the epitome of corruption. TrudeauBrokeCanada

Well deserved! She did nothing.

No money for health care and people sleeping on the side of the street! Families struggling to live ! But seems like there’s always a lot of money for political pay raises!!!

What is our homeless rate again?

Wtf does she even do other than waste tax payers money. This governor general position needs to be eradicated. Absolute waste of time and money.

How does she sleep at night oh yeah thinking how she can help out fellow Canadians🙄

I guess she earned it

For a useless ceremonial appointment

Useless government job sucking up your hard earned money.

What an absolute disgrace of a position. She’s utterly useless. She should have to pay back every penny to the tax payers. Her salary included. Unbelievable.

For doing nothing but fancy dining

The trough feeding continues.

Disgusting! Maybe she’ll pay for clean water for her people

Pay for compliance and silence to the Liberal Agenda

The Liberals only know how to make their friends rich.

Cost of living raise? When all your expenses and everybody else’s are covered

That’s not even enough for one weekend of her meals.

While so many Canadians don’t even make that!

For what?

Well I guess they'll have no problem getting public sector employees a healthy raise in line with the vice Regal.

For doing F**K ALLL, just like the rest of them!!!!

So happy, our little old lady from the North. With that kind of income her OAS will be clawed back completely.

Give it to the homeless.

Everyone got 40k during Covid except the poor plebs

Trudeau and all Liberal / NDP supporters, including the civil service, judiciary, police organizations, media and provincial premiers are all more than well paid for a reason. He needs support for current policy and what's to come. It will get nasty before it gets better.

How many hugs did she give Justin?

she’s a fraud

Why?

No wonder she looks so happy on the picture

Criminal. Liberal grift.

Of course she did 🤦‍♀️

Of course she did.

Money for nothing and you chicks for free...mova mova...

Yet another at the public trough with no pride and no conscience, I wonder what the indigenous people think now of their rep, she sold out to the dirty Trudeau.

WTF

340 000 $ for what exactly.? Put that on the news show people whats going on in our country

Why ,who apporve this crap . What Canadian tax payer approved it . Possibly it should be under investigation?

Of course. She took a lot of heat for her overspending although all she did was blame the Canadian Airforce and then her own office as she doesn’t know the cost of stuff. This GG needs to go…

Just follow the narrative and you too can be a Justin buddy and get huge pay-outs.

Now he a responsible person and return it - $342,000 per year is beyond excessive

We should be protesting in the streets...without fear of trampling, pepper spray, rubber bullets, tear gas, billy clubs, severe beatings and frozen assets.

How nice…Can’t wait for Karma to come knocking 😏

The Liberals picked the right Indigenous Person! Part of the gravy train and you barely hear anything about native rights from her

Who said crime doesn't pay?

Liberal Government slop trough. Greedy 🐖 🐷 🐽 🐖 all of them. Carbon tax needs to increase proportionally. Right? Or should I say 'Left'.

Of course she did. Liberal$$$

And why shouldn't she get a big raise? She has expensive tastes. Its a loooonng way from the reservation, so she's making the best of it.

As they say in the army “a waste of rations.”

FOOOK GG and Foook Trudeau - Witches.. GGCanada JUST pathetic horsecrap... pass the canapes..svp

Dirty Bribe Cash .

Ben kin! Et puis après on refuse l'augmentation au coût de la vie des salaires de la fonction publique....

How much of a raise did MPs get? And did Conservative MPs refuse to take their raise, instead donating it to the needy Canadians who are suffering under the rising cost of living?

We do not require a Governor General.

Yes Danielle!!! Yes Alberta! Yes Saskatchewan! Yes Manitoba!

What is the solution? How do we get rid of these elites robbing us blind?

Pierre and Peterson!

Well isn't that just so Justin. Not enough springing for her necessary (?) airfare food costs I guess.

Hahahaha what the F$CK else is new?

Unbelievable waste of tax payers funds with almost zero productivity. canadians receive worst public service. Even third world countries have better public service at much lower cost. canadaisbroken.

Not a bad salary for a high school education. But then again, Canada has a part time drama teacher as PM.🙁

From $302,800 per year in 2019 to $342,100 in 2022 — a 13-per-cent pay bump. Tell this to the Canadians who can't make the ends meet or the folks in the IT sector who are losing their jobs in droves.

And for doing what exactly?

Canada is the most disfunctional country in the G7 and the world. The elites are laughing at us.

The government class did very well to maintain the most destructive campaign in Canadian history.

What her food bill on her trip to India.

She got the raise …..to do as she’s told.

How long has she been in the job

KenLugg Are you sure it wasn’t a performance bonus?

You know how far $40000/year would take me and family. That extra $40G would have is in a house and out of a rental. Even after the government stole 33%.

Postmedia newspapers have had a problem with female Governors General going back to Jeanne Sauve.

It’s a vicious circle, you get a raise then I get a raise then she gets a raise and so on. Nobody is minding the store. There should be an independent auditor who can put on the brakes. Like no raises when we have a huge deficit.

I cannot believe this position is paid so much. It's a fluff job with no true importance. First order of business for Pierre should be to rid ourselves of the monarchy and stop all the waste

The GG position needs to go along with their pay for life BS.

For what…For wasting our money

Greed !!

WTF

Why do we still have a governor general. Nevermind for such a brutally high cost.

That's disgusting, she is living high off the hog..us taxpayers and we are having trouble paying bills and buying groceries!

Plus a lot of fine extravagant dining while jetting around causing more carbon

I guess that is why my old age pension only went up by $2.50.

Yeah. Of course she did

This position needs to be removed.

How does the poor dear survive on such a pittance?

Did you she use it to payoff her last junket that cost us $100,000 For food and drinks for her and the entourage!

Disgusting, repulsive, enraging.🤬🤬😡😡🤮🤮 Corruption among Canadian politicians and bureaucrats at its worst. A major disrespect to Canadians. A slap in the face to the many Canadians surviving on way less than that $40K increase for someone that was already making $302K 🤬🤮

Shame

And people are surprised when over 60% of Canadians surveyed say Canada is broken.

The GG loves her colonial pay cheque.

Is there any end to public service greed.

Nice gig. Get paid for an unnecessary position and then get a raise at a time when many other Canadians are experiencing financial difficulties.

Defund GG. Not needed

Pay it back!!

Total waste of taxpayers money. This position should be abolished along with a bunch of other pigs at the trough. Out of touch politicians.

Gets so much money to ' travel and talk about peace '. Wonder when the next proroging of parliment will be, probably sooner than not.

The Governor General has no power in Canada, and is strictly a ceremonial role. The Governor General should be elected by the people each 4 years and should not receive any pay from the taxpayer. I suspect there are many accomplished Canadians that would love the opportunity.

Disgusting but typical of Liberals

She is a terrible GG. She can’t even get to the Remembrance Day event on time.

Why, all expenses are paid, she banks her wages so why more?

A lot of people make less than that yearly… before taxes.

Genocide has always paid well.

Disgusting

Disgraceful politics.

william62560727 Canada is broken.

They made a deal They agreed to greed How anyone could receive pay increases during their pandemic Shows that they have a agreement to greed at your expense

Sickening.. the self righteousness of the self proclaimed kings n queens while the rest of us are scum

That is so true for a job that largely consists of attending social functions a 40k raised on top of 308k is absolutely ridiculous….the privilege always seem to win.

What the heck is going on!!! This is getting ridiculous.

Now I know why she wouldn’t do anything with Trudeau he paid her off with our money.

Nice good for her.

lord Jesus!

For what

For doing what?

Hol..l..yfack!

How can I get that job. Unions will sure make note of the %increase!

Oh so what . She’s the Governor General for chrisakes…

I am starting to hate Canada more and more.

Why? For doing what? Does she even deserve the role she has?

It is for all the overtime she puts in!!!

Of course she did!

Of course she did…

Why ?

How much did her expense account go up!!

Time to do away with the monarchy !

Because of her excellent work of doing nothing? We really need to reign in the governor General. They are virtually ceremonial.

That is disgusting. Out of hand Liberals continue to waste tax payers money

Nose in the trough 🤡

I’m so glad us oldies could use money. But we don’t count… the prick !!

Disgusting!

What does Pee Pee get paid to play on twitter all day?

Of course! She would’ve starved to death during covid if not for the raise! Wonder why politicians need BIG $$ to survive but us little folks only need a pittance

40k raise above her $302, thousand yearly income,😵 Just to do WHAT? This needs accountability and court-martial.

Madness

Woman’s got to eat. She is overworked

revolutionvote Well if anyone deserves it in these difficult times it’s the pampered elite.

And a nice trip to Dubai and Qatar!

Jesus do you want to be a country or not national post?

srduquette3 Didn't she start her job during the so called pandemic?

For absolutely nothing. Waste of money. Get rid of the position.

The Governor General does not deserve a dime. Part of her job is to take action and answer to the people of Canada for a NO Confidence Vote. The majority of Canada wants a NO Confidence Vote for the Prime Minister of Canada. When will the Governor General take action.

and SHE IS NOT BILINGUAL! Let's not ask her about 'colon'ialism......we will just get a blast of hot air!

You realize that the GG had no involvement in the increase don’t you or are you here just to advance your anti Ottawa agenda?

Of course. Useless eater if there ever was one. TrudeauBrokeCanada

Beats a shack and caribou meat. Enjoy Your Excellency!

Why?

What a joke

Of course she did 🙄😡

What a waste of taxpayers hard earned money! Canadians are barely staying financially afloat and the GG receives a $40K pay increase. I suggest she donate her $40,000. to a food bank.

Good for her 👏

Of course she did. Doing nothing then get a raise for working harder at doing nothing 🤦‍♂️

Waste of money position!

Cancel the position… we don’t need a Governor General.

Our system is broken. It needs serious reformation. 47 Senators of all affiliations couldn't be bothered show up to vote on Bill C-11. Trudeau jet-sets all over on our dime. MPs didn't miss a raise while many Canadians couldn't work. This GG is a big disappointment. cdnpoli

Corrupt to the core

Wow

I had great expectations of her as an indigenous person, but have seen greed and power, are no respecter of culture or heritage. 😞. She’s a disgrace.

All I Have to say is are you !%$ kidding me!! Get rid of this position and all the waste that goes with it.

Liberal government is SO Out of Control

Absolutely disgusting and the fake position should be eliminate immediately 😡

This is what’s wrong with these people. Millions are losing jobs and income yet these government “workers” get massive raises

pigs at the trough . they love our money , we are a never ending suppy for them, if they need more tax ,tax,tax time to throw the bums out There is reason they are called LIBERALS and there is reason Conservative are called Conservatives

No respect for taxpayers

I'm sorry.....?🧐🤨

I hate my job 😢

how nice of tax payers. ! did she pay back the $80000 for her in flight dining guess not!!! Just support the implosion of our governance by incompetence !! Protect the corruption

This position has to be abolished and above all Trudeau must go

Why?

Why and for what ?

To be fair $40,000 doesn’t even cover her catering bill for one international trip!!

FFS

Time for this relationship with the UK to end. Not good at all. Who are these politicians (the PM) and other senior government officials advisors. I’m struggling and I make $122,000 a year in Vancouver. Single income, high tax bracket, high interest rate mortgage. Thank you. 👍

Disgusting this is a completely useless and meaningless role. Time to abolish these stupidities

Just more Indian Privilege

Of course she did. Government steals. This position should be abolished immediately.

'Make sure to keep my colonies enslaved' -Evelyn de Rothschild, probably

Crazy Canada. And corrupt entitlement

Imagine that, while society makes deemed to poverty disabled injured workers. pwd

This is outrage. Such a gross waste of money for nothing.

Wtf more wasted money I sure can use a raise in my pension try living on 576.00 a month

Can we take a vote to remove the monarchy as our symbolic head of state.

Make sure all the socialists know this

wonderful.....

Buying her silence.

Danger pay for her exposing herself to Covid which she did get. Don’t be so petty!

Of course she did. Nurses? Retail work? Crossing guard? Airline pilot/ stewards? Maybe liberals didn't like you.

At this point I think it's safe to say every politician is overpaid. It doesn't matter if they do a good or bad job, the raises keep coming.

Absolutely criminal. We don’t even need a GG.

For what LiberalsMustGo cdnpoli

That's just the tip of the iceberg. She and all former GCs get a nice fat guaranteed indexed pension (with 'office' expenses) after serving only ONE DAY! This ceremonial position should be a volunteer spot. The 'office' will take care of all the work & GC can 'entertain'.

I’m sure she earned every penny….😂😂😂😂😂😂

They ALL took their raises! Absolutely shameful and disrespectful to all the hard working Canadians! trudeauworstpmever TrudeauMustGo

I have no idea what this position does to us and why she's deserving this pay hike, on top of anything else?

Well deserved. Well deserved. 😂 😂 😂

Well good for her. I had to split my gas and electric bill over 2 pay periods this month. Enjoy my tax money.

Must be nice!

This is infuriating… Plus the pay raise that fordnation gave last year. Govt need to be held accountable!

Just another example of JustinTrudeau's ridiculous assertion that he's helping the middle class. Real wages for most cdns have shrunk (inflation, taxes), but the elites & gov't employees wages are increased above the cost of living. liberal_party cdnpoli TrudeauMustGo

This is a finger in the eye to the average Canadian who had to suffer through COVID, lose their jobs, businesses or the ability to do their business (Truckers).

Well those skip the dishes fees can be costly.

I wonder what the GG will do when JustinTrudeau tries to prorogue Parliament AGAIN when the next major Lib scandal drops? Remember when he did it over the WE charity scandal? Now w/ an extra $40k in her pocket, should be a slam dunk for ol’ JT. TrudeauMustGo

I glad she got the raise. Has anyone heard what she recently had to pay for beef wellington and wine one one of her overseas flights? Plus, the rent she’s paying on Rideau Hall, which is almost 80 acres in the heart of Ottawa, must be horrendous.

For doing...what? Other than spend money like a drunk sailor!

Pay them off to shut them in Quebec judges got a pay raise during covid and all covid court cases were dismissed.

Wow. Just wow. The whole monarchy thing should be tossed to the history books. Didn’t she just have the $100k flight luncheon ?

I hope that she's ok

I've never seen such a useless costly job.

WTF

What an absolute joke. Millions of Canadians skipping meals & visiting food banks, on the brink of losing their homes (if they can even afford one under this Lib govt), and this Lib govt hand this honorary role another $40k on top of $300k they already make? TrudeauMustGo

In addition, didn't she take a huge entourage to the Queen's funeral?

can somebody ask Jagmeet if this is also explained by his sciencey greedflation or maybe it’s just something else?

HHHHOOOOOYYYYYY

This is quite possibly the single worst use of money by our government. We could save lives with that money.

Remind me why she is around?

Corruption costs money ya know😡

6079xSmithxW

Why can’t politicians make the average wage that Canadians make?

Just what she needs

Disgusting. MPs got 3 raises. Oink, oink.

Do away with this useless department. It seems to be always mismanage. A place for political hacks to retire?

Anyone else sick of this ridiculous drain on taxpayers?
