FF’s two-day bash was staged at our expense

WHAT has puzzled me about this latest Cowen fiasco is that nobody is angry about the most shameful aspect of it all.

His party was supposed to be having a meeting to discuss how to save Ireland from the economic disaster they have caused (not one ministry is working properly and the whole country is nearly bankrupt).

They have completely wasted countless billions of taxpayers’ money and they live entirely from that money – our earnings. They create absolutely nothing, just take as much as they can get away with. And, knowing all that, to show their utter contempt for us they were having a great two-day party with our money. Hundreds of unproductive people. Till 3 or 4 in the morning. On our money. I am reminded of a saying of HL Mencken from about 70 years ago: “Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.”
