$500,000 plus all the hidden
stuff to talk rubbish – I could do that and I’m available from October
2012. Might need to get a blonde wig and become a bit more masculine though. May you always live in interesting times indeed?
The International Monetary
Fund managing director, Christine Lagarde insists it is payback time for Greece
and makes it clear that the IMF has no intention of softening the terms of the
country's austerity package. Lagarde, predicting that the debt crisis has yet
to run its course, adds: "Do you know what? As far as Athens is concerned,
I think they should also help themselves collectively." Asked how, she
replies: "By all paying their tax." Asked if she is essentially
saying to the Greeks and others in Europe that they have had a nice time and it
is now payback time, she responds: "That's right."
Perhaps she could donate say $300,000 to Africa or Greece then. It would
still leave her paid over $183,000 too much. See link to IMF below - An allowance in the aggregate amount of
$83,760 per annum – for what? - Fake tan
and a terrible sense in clothing obviously.
'(b) You will receive an
allowance in the aggregate amount of $83,760 per annum, similarly net of any
income taxes, payable in equal monthly installments, without any certification
or justification by you, to enable you to maintain, in the interests of the
Fund, a scale of living appropriate to your position as Managing Director and
to the Fund’s need for representation. In addition, you will be reimbursed for
reasonable expenses actually incurred for entertainment directly related to the
business of the Fund.'
