How much money would be saved by cutting all allowances paid to politicians, at all levels, by 50%?
Politicians must lead by example and prove just how serious they are about cutting the deficit.
Furthermore, those serving on State Bodies / State Boards should not be paid (other than legitimate, vouched expenses incurred) for the privilege of serving on these State Bodies / Boards.
The argument that you won't get quality people to serve on these State Bodies / Boards if they are not paid is rubbished by the facts and the evidence that for the past 15 years many of those who did serve on State Bodies / Boards did a lot to land us in the economic mire that we are in today.
