WASHINGTON (AP) — A spokeswoman says Education Secretary DeVos will donate her nearly $200,000 salary to four charities focusing on education and special needs.
Department spokeswoman Liz Hill said in a statement Wednesday that DeVos’ one-year salary of $199,700 will be divided evenly among the four organizations.
One of the groups, Dreams Soar, works to encourage girls to pursue careers in the fields of science, engineering and mathematics. Another, Kids Hope USA, helps at-risk children. Vision to Learn provides eyeglasses to low-income children and Special Olympics helps children and adults with disabilities.
DeVos is married to Dick DeVos, the heir to the Amway marketing fortune. She travels around the country on her own private plane and foots the bill.
I guess that makes everything all right then.
Chump change.
“One of the groups, Dreams Sore, encourages young women who have spent weekends with Donald Trump to pursue careers in mime. Another, Kids Grope USA, helps aspiring actresses to navigate the complex world of NDAs. Vision to Burn works to eradicate the scourge of grainy Russian videos. And Stormy Olympics funds travel for prospective authoresses to dangerous and politically-unstable third-world countries.”
Hyperpecunia Disorder (HPD), also known as Hyperpecuniaism, is a complication of birth. In addition to ammonianic fluid, blood, and the placenta being expelled from the birth canal, large quantities of cash emerge as well.
Although it does not occur frequently, it often runs in families. This would seem to suggest that there is a genetic basis, however, to date researchers have been unable to find a gene or combination of genes responsible for it.
If you do not suffer from it, count your blessings. But for the grace of God…
Oh, how cute. DeVos is donating her salary, from a job she paid to get, to the little people.
