| Pay Cut for Paleo Authority Employees |
| 2011-07-04 |
| The Palestinian prime minister says government employees will only be paid half of their salaries this month because international donors are not making good on their pledges. Salam Fayyad said Sunday donors had pledged 970 dollars million for this year's budget, but have only come through with around of third of that - about 330 million. He added much of the shortfall comes from Arab countries. Over 50% of the Paleo economy is based on foreign aid which of course makes them a great candidate for independence via a UN Assembly Resolution: note also the lack of Arab support -- the Gulf States in particular are not so big fans of the Paleos |

| #3 much of the shortfall comes from Arab countries If it weren't for their track record, they could always blame it on the "Arab Spring"... |
