Who Cares?

The Human Resources Department of the Canadian Federal Government (remember them -- $300 million disbursed and unaccounted for a few years ago?) is being criticised again.

This time it's for distributing $11 million to caregivers under its Compassionate Care program for people looking after the terminally ill elderly.

Hmm, that should read ONLY $11 million. Why?

Because administration and advertising for the same period , 2003-2005 cost a whopping $69.8 million. [Canwest News Service]

But the critics are being unfair. They should remember that our Government's priority for "Compassion" and "Caring" is themselves. Bloated bureaucracies, fat-cat politicians.

What a fine job they're doing -- with our money.
