[State Dept.] $4/day!

[Johan]

The State Department would like you to know (http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/16/state.employees.pay/index.html) that we're taking care of the foreign nationals who work for us overseas. We're paying (many of) them four bucks a day, not one!

As for the error: Apparently a currency conversion error was to blame, he said.

That's four times what was previously reported. (http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/13/state.employees.pay/index.html).

A new State Department report says some local employees hired by U.S. embassies and other posts around the world are so poorly paid they have to cut back to one meal a day or send their children to peddle on the streets.

Aren't we generous?

How does that song go, again?

"I'm proud to be an American,
Where at least I know..."

What do I know now? :confused: Well, I know we're not torturing this group of people, at least. Right?

Dude. Wayyyyyyyyy too easy.

EDIT: Ahhh I see you snuck in a ninjaedit while I was replying! ;)

My favorite line from the last Bond movie was when Bond was implying the CIA was being imperialist in South America...

James Bond: You know I was just wondering what South America would look like if nobody gave a damn about coke or communism. It always impressed me the way you boys would carve this place up.

Felix Leiter: I'll take that as a compliment coming from a Brit.
