Anna, il-moderazzjoni ma’ toqtol ‘l-hadd, kif fhimtu jien per ezempju jinharqu inqas murtaletti, Se jaffetwaw fil-kummerc? Ma’ nahsibx. Tinsiex li hemm element ta’ solidarjeta f’li qal.

Would you not also agree that people need to be careful where they spend their money to help ease the recession? Going out and buying more and more junk off of Amazon may help bring in a little extra money in taxation for the Jersey government, but it certainly won’t aid your local community and keep people in their jobs. Individuals have to identify that there are some companies that, when they profit, help the local infrastructure of employment, and there are some that don’t. They should be supporting the first. MA

P.S. Would it not also be fair to say that advice from an institution that often has to receive debt cancellation from various nations, first and third world, due to their failed ministries is a little rich?

[Daphne – Yes, of course it goes without saying that we should spend money here, but we’re all interlinked and many of the problems we in Malta will face will be due to not enough people spending money in Britain, with not enough British people then able or willing to come here on holiday.]

@ Anna f’kelma wahda “Mhux zmien il-kapricci” . Biex inkunu gusti hu semma’ it-tbatija tan-nies qiegheda u ssugerixxa li flok isir hafna infiq esagerat fuq il-festi nimmoderaw l-infieq u jitwaqqaf fond ta’ ghajnuna ghal min ikun milqut min-nuqqas ta’ xoghol.(RTK).

Here’s a word for word extract from the Bishop’s speech
” Jekk sal-lum il-kotra kienu jghixu livell ta’ hajja gholi u wiehed kien jippermetti certu nfieq u konsum bl-addocc anke fuq hwejjeg li mhumiex ta’ htiega, illum mehtieg sens ta’ kejl fl-uzu tar-rizorsi privati u hekk naghtu aktar kas ta’ min huwa nieqes mill-mehtieg. Dan is-sens ta’ moderazzjoni fl-infieq ghandu jidher anke fl-attivita u c-celebrazzjonijiet li jsiru mill-fondi pubblici u hekk tidher cara l-ghazla favur li tigi evitata l-hela biex ikunu assigurati l-impiegi”

Now let’s see what I can spend it on … plasma TV (manufactured by some foreign company) … or some grog (my choice of tipple is Scotch, again foreign) … I know it will go towards a trip to Malta next year. Now that’s a better choice as a local travel agent will benefit. See you all next year.

Thanks, Mr Rudd.

I don’t think that’s the only thing you don’t understand, Croaker.

I fail to understand how, spending and debt converge in your world. In my world, I spend what I can afford.

What loans would you be forced to take out? None.
Your choice, state housing or mortgage.
Bus or Car….

What did you choose?
To be a slave and know it? Or to be a slave, but don’t know it?
