My Home About Me

Now I may question whether the raises for Teachers and Nurses are a little high (but I do think they deserve raises), but I think we can all agree on one thing, anyone who votes themselves a 25% pay raise, is truly the definition of Chutzpah.

For those of you not up on your Yiddish let me give you the definition first:

chutz·pa –noun Slang. 1. unmitigated effrontery or impudence; gall. 2. audacity; nerve. Also, chutzpah, hutzpa, hutzpah.

Ontario MPP's voted themselves a 25% pay increase to end the year off, and now want to make sure that they make 75% of what their Federal counterparts make. Don't you wish you could vote yourself a 25% raise? Maybe MPP's are underpaid (not as underpaid as Nurses or Teachers, mind you), but a 25% raise? Holy Hand Grenades Batman!

That's my Christmas gift to you today, try to use the word Chutzpah in your day to day discussions, keep yiddish alive! Oi vay! --C8j
