As Long As I Get Mine ...


Audit: NJ Turnpike Wasted Millions On Perks

Auditors say the New Jersey Turnpike Authority wasted $43 million on unneeded perks and bonuses. In one case, an employee with a base salary of $73,469 earned $321,985 when all payouts and bonuses were included.
Having worked for the state of New Jersey I can attest to the culture of waste that permeates government operations. Of course, the employees don't consider it waste.

On a related note, Alan Caruba writes: Saving America from Ourselves

Who's making money these days? Government workers. They belong to the largest union in America.

The truth is the nation has been drifting toward socialist "solutions" since the 1930s that have never worked successfully anywhere. That is why the British have hit the wall and the French are in the streets rioting. Famously, socialism has run out of other people's money to give away.
