http://maltarightnow.com/news/2014/04/29/zammit-lewis-jghid-li-l-qghad-zdied-ghax-l-ekonomija-qed-titjieb/

I&#039;m sick and tired of this insolence. The degeneration starts when alienation from reality feeds itself. 

Chris Cardona to do the same, stop boasting of &#039;l-ikbar tkabbir ekonomiku&#039; when all you did was lump the civil service with another 1,400 salaries, for a total increase of 90 million Euros per year. 

The first year of Gonzi&#039;s administration, Drydocks was removed from the taxpayer&#039;s remit, Workers retrained and re-employed elsewhere,  financial services were requesting even more graduates, infrastructure was on a roll, University departments multiplying, SR Technics was on its way, and a dip in employment was tackled immediately as Lehmann Brothers kicked off a worldwide credit crunch. 

You&#039;ve lost the plot, you never had one. You&#039;re just buying time, denigrating the Opposition and exposing your only strategy, blatant clientelism to get your votes. 

You&#039;re destroying the &#039;middle class&#039;, declared war on free enterprise and initiative. You&#039;re sending out the wrong signals, closing yourselves in what was supposed to be a glitzy national celebration yesterday. 

You&#039;re a lie, and you can&#039;t exist otherwise. 

You&#039;ve taken the worst of speculators, called them entrepreneurs and turned their agenda into the national strategy, you&#039;ve sabotaged public transport, blackmailing local councils to do the same. You&#039;ve killed any discourse of sustainability, innovation and killed any necessity becoming the mother of invention. 

You&#039;re stuck with those quacks who in turn keep waiting for you to come up with something. You&#039;ve removed twenty five years of painstaking nation building to replace it with a plastic copy of what you think are moderate social democratic policies. 

You lie to your heart&#039;s content, swapped politics for cheap hard discounted sales, you need to be omnipresent everywhere, that alternatives not be seen. You monopolise the state, its stakeholders and dissent. You wooed the gullible to believe they will have a say, when all you did was plot to shut them up. 

You&#039;re coming apart and you don&#039;t even see it. All you know is that when it will happen you&#039;ll have a police force and an army ready to bash anyone around the head. 


Need I go on?]]></description>
