^ A few days ago Israeli PM faced flak from the Israeli people and
media for spending vulgar sums of money on his ice cream and on
bed in a private plane, while the ordinary citizens cut their household
budget to meet both ends meet.
^ Public outcry and media pressure forced him to review his decisions.
^ Remember, he is the head of a democratic country where the
common folks are sermonized about need for austerity measures and
asked to pay more taxes. How can he squander people's hard money
on his extravagance?
^ Sadly he is not the only culprit. Look around Asia, Africa, Latin
America and Europe, and you find dozens of Prime Ministers and
Presidents spending public money on themselves as though they
were some medieval monarchs.
^ There is need for the people and the media to be more vigilant and
question their leaders so that they don't dare to squander money like
that.
