Il-Kap tal-Oppozizzjoni ghandu juri kemm hu responsabbli u ghid lil Dr Joseph Muscat li jekk il-deficit huwa ikbar milli kien dikjarat u mahsub, mela allura irid jara kif jaghmel biex il-pajjiz ikollu iktar introjtu u jibda jamministra l-medicina li ghandu bzonn il-pajjiz qabel ma jkun tard wisq.Speci ta’ Malta Marida Medicina Muscat(Fl-1971 kienet Mintoff).

Il-Budget tal-PN ghal-2013 kien mibni fuq il-premessa li l-finanzi huma fis-sod, jekk issa m’humiex fis-sod mela dak il-budget mhux tajjeb.

Jekk irid li l-oppozizzjoni tivvota favur il-Budget, Muscat irid jibla’ kliemu u jghid li l-finanzi kienu fis-sod , inkella l-oppozizzjoni bir-responsabbilta kollha ma tkunx komplici mal-gvern f’din il-farsa, u tivvota kontra.

Let’s keep it simple: what would you prefer – Lm500 in cash but no degree or job, whilst living in a run-down house, or a Eur5k loan which helped you get a degree and/or job and furthermore a decent house?

Of course but if you create a budget you do so to try your best to stick to it. Anyone in government does that.

Of course how much you stick to that budget depends on your capabilities and the external factors which you have not budgeted for.

Now the PN had a budget and PL is using the same budget. In both cases the outcome should not be very different especially when you know how the civil service works. Its the external factors that usually make the outcome of a budget veru different from the estimate.

Anyway I still cannot understand what the Prime minister is saying about the finances and the disaster we would have had with PN in Government.

First of all he would be wise to not count his chickens before they hatch and secondly it sounds like the usual “hofra” grumbling.

Look and listen around you.

The average person is a moron.

They don’t listen to what he says so they can understand him.

They listen so they know when to clap when he stops talking.

Even if we end up being bailed out, they will still vote for him.

How horrible it is when you get people who are so gullible and with scrambles eggs for a brain.

They believe ANYTHING they are told without the decency of finding out the truth for themselves.

The name you chose to use says it all.

150 and zilch respectively at last count.

Higher numbers of job losses are forecast, with an accumulating cloud of unemployed hanging over the islands.

Peaks of despair are expected each year when school leavers and university graduates flood the market.

The zilch figure for job creation is expected to remain unchanged at least for the next five years.

That is typical thinking of the miserly old bastard Mintoff who amassed millions but kept his family in penury.

Malta’s economy was a total wreck in 1987, and had been for many years.

No. A budget doesn’t run itself. The people managing things in line with a budget are more important than the budget itself.
