In reply to marks. That counts for anyone's economic policy. When things go belly-up, the fat cats will still come out on top.

In reply to ciccio.

Deflationary economics meta Malta hija membru tal-Eurozone? (Kevin, shut up.)

U anke kieku ma konniex, meta kullhadd ghaddej fuq “nghollu l-istandartovlifink?”.

L-izball kbir tal-istrategija ekonomika ta’ Malta kien li nzommu l-pagi artificjalment baxxi ghax minghalina dik hija l-kompetittivita`. Il-PN ghamilha minkejja kliem sabih fid-direzzjoni l-ohra. Imma l-MLP se jaghmilha, bil-firma, bhala l-istrategija centrali tieghu.

Sheer madness.

In reply to Jozef. And what is this that every time he is faced with a crisis, he leaves the country?

Milli jidher Joseph Muscat behsiebu juza ‘deflationary economics’ biex minghalih johloq it-tkabbir ekonomiku.

Ipoggi pressjoni ‘l isfel fuq l-ispejjez ghax minghalih, fil-fantasija ta’ mohhu u forsi ta’ mohh Edward Scicluna, li jekk jaghmel hekk izid il-kompetitivita.

Ghalhekk jidher li behsiebu jipprova jrahhas xi ftit il-kontijiet, u mbaghad jghid “u issa niffrizaw is-salarji ghax rahhasna l-kontijiet.”

Ghax nghiduha kif inhi, jekk inaqqas il-kontijiet jaf li meta jaghmel hekk l-indici tal-gholi tal-hajja juri tnaqqis, u allura addio zjieda fil-pagi.

Fil-verita, dan iwassal biss ghal-dizgwid socjali, kif gara fil-Grecja u Spanja. Is-socjetajiet avanzati ma humiex familjari mal-ekonomija deflazjonarja, ghax din tohloq aspettativi ‘l isfel, u mhux ‘l fuq.

U allura dan jwassal ghal tnaqqis fid-dhul, telf ta’ fiducja, tnaqqis fid-domanda, sensji u qaghad. U dan johloq krizi u jtawwalha fuq hafna snin.

The minimum wage is a safeguard to ensure that workers with a decent job get paid a fair wage, that as a “minimum”, permits a decent standard of living. Nothing special, just good enough to live on.

Although both parties know this and in essence agree, they are trying to get political mileage by playing a delicate balancing act between workers and businesses, or by taking part of a speech and creating a propaganda film out of it.

One theory says “keep repeating and eventually someone will believe “.

Point is, both are offending my intelligence. They should be challenging each other on issues of how they will be promoting work by having new ideas and allowing businesses to work.

The irony of socialism is that when their economic policy (?) goes astray, it is mainly the working class which suffers.

I didn’t know the meaning of “torny”, so I looked it up. The first site that came up was: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=torny
When one is tired, but horny.

It sounded like “torny”.

It should have been “thorny”.

And on that stage last week, he just looked…horny.
