Bicycle Mark has a nice post on recently elected president Morales, who cut government wages by 50%!
The 46-year-old coca grower and Aymara Indian said his future salary of about $3600 a month would be slashed to $1800.
Cabinet ministers and all 157 members of Morales’ Movement to Socialism party elected to Congress will also take a 50% pay cut, Morales said, adding that the salaries of 157 substitute congressmen - who take over the duties of lawmakers when they are absent - will be reduced to zero.
