YES!!! Hamas going broke too!
As 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Hamas also seems to be facing a financial crisis and, like the Palestinian Authority, has not been able to pay full salaries to its civil servants in the Gaza Strip.Isn't a lack of cash the definition of a financial crisis? Maybe they should ask Barack Hussein Obama what to do - he seems to be an expert (Hat Tip: Memeorandum).
Hamas legislator Yahya Musa called on the Hamas government to “be frank with the people and tell them the truth about the financial situation.”
Musa expressed concern over the Hamas government’s failure to pay full salaries to its employees for the last few months.
“If there’s a financial crisis, then the government should say so,” Musa said. “And if there isn’t a crisis, the government should quickly pay full salaries to all its workers.”
Sources in the Gaza Strip said that because of the financial crisis, the Hamas government has in recent months paid only half salaries to its employees.
Ismail Mahfouz, a senior official with the Hamas-run Ministry of Finance, denied that his government was facing a financial crisis. He said that the delay in paying the salaries was due to lack of cash in the hands of the government.
Mahfouz promised that the Hamas government would pay all its debts to the civil servants by the end of the week.
Maybe Hamas can borrow some money from China.
Maybe they can raise taxes.
They sure won't cut spending.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Carl - what's really funny (and passes for Palestinian comedy) is Palestinian representatives at the UN saying with a straight face they're ready to govern themselves! While they have no functioning economy at home to speak of and foreign donors are simply not interested or have problems at home to continue to spoil them!
Of course, the world's need to hate the Jews outweighs objective reality. Then again, that's always been the case, isn't it?
