Milli jidher kemm kemm indannat int!! Aħjar tibda tara f’liema sqaq se jdaħħalna l-PM il-ġdid. Naħseb PM inkompetenti daqsu Malta għadha qatt ma ratt. Pero t-tip tiegħek jemmnu kull ma jgħidilhom u jgħiduli proset, kompli f***i lil pajjiż,

This game has been played before, it is the same drum being beaten as CET/VAT saga and others.

Not a strategy of a moviment but a lame story of a village pickle.

At this point I don’t mind it at all, since it will mostly effect the ones that voted him in.

The boat is being rocked by none other than JM, it will rock so violently at some point that nothing will stop it from capsizing.

Here are some quick calculations:
-Malta’s GDP in 2012 was EUR6755 million
-If we assume that it will stay the same (given current economic conditions)
– A deficit of 2.7% (which was expected under the PN government) = EUR182 m
– A deficit of 3.5% (which is now expected under the labour government) = EUR 236 m

The difference between the two is EUR 54 m.

Now every ministry or secretariet is estimated to cost around EUR 1 million. Question: since we now have about 23 of them and incoming PL staff (as reported this week) have been given a higher wage than their nationalist predecessors, isn’t a large part of that difference in the deficit due to Joseph Muscat’s decisions in his first month in office, and the many promises he made before the election?

Here’s a thought on how to reduce the deficit: reduce the number of ministries and stop giving every switcher a job that they are not capable of doing and they do not MERIT! Perhaps Joseph Muscat should look up the word “meritocracy” in the dictionary.

And Muscat’s best quote of them all is: “The state of finances is not as they told us but we exected this ….(and) won’t be complaining about the situation”…….Joseph: You asked for the job, you got it, and you are messing it up!!! What have you to complain about??

If I heared Joseph correctly, it’s by paying out less to the new chairpersons and board members.

As an example he mentioned the new Mepa Chairman’s remuneration.

Typical communist mentality and the easy way out for the likes of Joseph, cut wages down to reduce government expences, instead of the more challenging solution of increasing high quality employement which pays more in taxes to the government.

I can’t believe the level of ignorance and crassness there is in this country.

At my place of work (I work in at the general hospital) it has happened more than once now: It is not unusual for me to go to a ward, or outpatients, and hear randomly ‘Issa hemm taghna fil-gvern, hi!’, or something to that effect.

I really doubt sometimes that the Health Minister has done anything to solve any problems in MDH.

Correct, in the sense of how we understand it – effective, honest government.

However, there are other ways to govern. For instance, dictatorial and propagandistic methods are used by incompetent governments whose only aim is to acquire power and then hold on to it for their benefit and for the benefit of the ones who help them with their aims.

It is clear, from the first few decisions taken in the past month (phew, one month out already, thank God for that), that this Muscat government is one that will resort to extremist measures in order to protect its power.

So far, the Muscat government has only administered a good dose of red arrogance.
