Here in the USA, public sector jobs pay just as well as private sector, but the perks of public sector jobs are bankrupting the states. Israel is going down that same slippery slope, where state employees have better pay and perks than private jobs.

These officials make what, twice, three times the median salary in Israel? And half the time these guys are being investigated for fraud. These state employees should never have the ability to set their own salaries, and the salaries should never be compared to comparable private sector jobs. And once you've been convicted of a crime while employed by the state, you should NEVER be allowed back.

Sure, give them it. Take the money from the handicapped; they don't do anything anyway.

Ah yes, a heavy burden upon our government, I get it.
Shame on our country.

Nice that TV, A/C and mobile prices went down,
but that really doesn't take care of our poor and needy
yearning for a morsel of bread to eat.
