A very good gig !

Early this month, I was watching the PBS Newhour, and Judy Woodruf, the anchor that night was interviewing the IMF Managing Director, Kristalina Georgieva. 

She was responding to questions about an annual report released Thursday by the International Monetary Fund, that projected that the U.S. economy would grow about 7% this year because stimulus programs would boost consumer spending, and that growth would raise the risk of inflation. 

Mrs. Georgieva also underscored that the U.S. should help other countries cope with the pandemic. Seemingly good advice, but Kristalina Georgieva, just like Christine Lagarde before her, pays zero taxes in her cushy job (she made $467,940 a year in salary, plus $83,760 in allowance). 

This said, I have a hard time with her audacity to suggest that the U.S., that is, us, the taxpayers, help other countries cope with the pandemic. If this isn't outrageous, I don't know what is. 

This of course should open an entirely new discussion about the UN and its daughters organization like the WHO or UNESCO and UNICEF, whose leaders ask us, taxpayers, for being charitable, but don’t pay one red cent in taxes. This has got to stop!
