$400 million allocated to worthless ministers

Olmert requested the Finance Ministry to allocate to ministers without portfolios in 2008 the money they failed to spend from their 2007 budgets. Ministers without portfolios do no meaningful job whatsoever, as even the creative Israeli government was unable to invent ministries for them. Lieberman, for example, invented for himself an Orwellian-sounding “Ministry of Strategic Affairs” which was dismantled as soon as he left the government.
Part of this money will go to the infamous Yitzhak Rabin Peace Center and $150,000 allocated to keep Ariel Sharon in coma for his crimes against Gush Katif residents. The governments also pays to keep Yitzhak Shamir in vegetative state.
