    “however such adjustments should be done as to not hurt the most vulnerable, these are people lives which the govt is responsible for and such responsibility carries a lot of hard decision making and is not as easy to make as miller and others would want to believe.”

    So ac, the private sector workers don’t have “lives”; aren’t they ‘people’ too?
    What about them? Why must the really productive workers (private sector) have to carry all the weight and make all the sacrifices?

    This DLP administration acted and continues to act most irresponsibly by fooling before and during the last elections the same public sector workers that there will be no retrenchment, no privatization and all social services will remain ‘Free, Free, as in Playboy’s “Life in Jail”!

    They knew that serious economic restructuring was necessary if the economy was to stand a chance of survival and the dollar protected. Yet they went ahead promising things that are totally unsustainable like the foolish leader telling Bajans that under no circumstances will Bajans have to pay tertiary education at UWI.

    But if he will lied so boldface to an innocent little school boy why do you think it would take anything off him to lie to Brass bowls like you?

    Honey chile , that’s the $400 MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION!
    You should ask the bewildered totally lost Governor and his sidekick buffoon of a MoF where that massive cutback in expenditure is going to come from.
    Where is the axe going to fall if not on personal emoluments aka people being sent home since there is no money to pay them.

    NO! ac asking u cause you’re the one telling tall tales about the gov say this and the gov say that. just another bunch of hogwash! lies ! and perceptions! invented by your dotish mind, to cause panic mania among the natives, If you look at the news conference does the gov. gives off the impression of panic and fear, u doo -do- bird, he is as calm as can be .even the media was a little bit taken back by his calm persona while answering the questions so much that Ian bourne was lost for words in responding to the governor response ‘about learning ” without batting an eyelash quipped that he (Ian Bourne ) was there to learn. what a dumb a.ss response coming from a so-called reporter guess he felt intimidated then he goes on to make a bigger as..s of himself by asking questions that should be directed to govt, and decides to quibble about the gov response.

    Playback to October 1987,another lying Dem named Evelyn Greaves came off a BWIA aircraft from Trinidad and the Nation front paged the man with the headline BREAKTHROUGH and went on to say that Greaves reported a breakthrough in talks with the Trinidad authorities ad that a fishing agreement was imminent.Play forward a bit and harken the words of one of their biggest liars none other than the Dead King of St John,that the Fishing Agreement was nothing more than what could be settled over a bowl ‘o soup.Fast forward now to 2013 and listen to the bait from Freundel Stuart.Fish bait was always smelly and the stench from the 2013 position is enough to make the man from Dian Casuals who continues to address himself as a former ambassador to Caricom(God help Barbados when a Guyana man like DaSilva can be appointed to represent Barbados’ interest in a fishing agreement)hang his head in shame.Ya mean after all these years wunna can’ get a fishing agreement?From since the 1980’s wunna did at it saying wunna got it it covered.

    The most ignorant unenlightened people in Barbados voted in large numbers for Dems in St. John. The result in St.John is a disgrace to the education system, adult suffrage and plain commonsense. St. John people need to be saved from their ignorant selves. The Barbados Labour must of necessity concentrate on St. John. Destroying the DLP in St. John is the key to totally weakening the DLP. If the BLP continues to ignore St.John, the DLP will continue to draw succor from the ‘foolish -ignorant people in St. John St.John people are like blood to a sucking DLP Vampire dynasty. Cut off the blood supply from St. John and the Vampire will expire

    The point of the economic consultation was to move the social partnership in a new direction. The message from the government was that it has to make some cuts, therefore how can government, labor and the private sector work together to implement an investment programme by the private and public sector to offset the fiscal adjustment. The possible investment programme from the government side was very clear, and it sought to engender a conversation as to how the social partners could work together to expedite the various projects..

    Can the partnership reinvent itself in this way. For example, one of the major stumbling blocks to the Mains Replacement Project at the BWA is the labor issues. labor issues have held up over a 100ml us of investment, can the partnership work to resolve these issues and unlock the investment. At the consultation goverment laid out the plan for a waste to energy plant, and was looking for private partners. Can the partnership work to sort out planning permission issues for shovel ready projects.

    You need to explain yourself here. What do you mean by “Labor issues”?
    Does the funding agreement call for a trimming of staff at this ‘overmanned’ utility?

    Why not privatize the damn thing? COW, SOL, Bjerkham, Mrs. Ram along with the Credit Unions could all form a consortium and run the business.

    I see no need for Government sponsored agencies, in particular the funding agencies to be in the profit making game. These agencies should be mandated to declare a profit of ZERO or that which enough to cover a loss from a previous year. The profit motive is COUNTER productive in key areas where new and untested activity is required.

    Of course you should be happy that the two bit journalists in Bim only come armed with an empty stomach and not pertinent searching questions. If they were really competent given the little tin pot dictators you call Leaders they will be out of a job the next day.

    Can someone explain how come the government has a $400 million deficit,

    And yet Bajans have tons of money stuffed i personal bank accounts.

    Me feeling is that Bajans are spending the government’s money (read taxpayers) and saving their own money.

    The government need to make those cash rich Bajans Spend those savings.

    Make them pay their children’s busfares.

    Gear HNC rents to income

    Stop giving $40 million tax write offs to the Turf Club

    Bring more people into the tax net. My buddy a boat builder boasted that hss has never paid a cent in income tax yet.

    Make all UWI students pay something towards their education, make the children of high income parents pay a significant amount.

    Introduce some sort of user fees for medical care. Perhaps introduce a separate health tax as well, deducted at source, or paid directly to the National Health Insurance for those who are self employed.

    In other words make Bajans spend some of that cash which is stashed in banks are credit unions.

    The people are taking the government (both parties) for a fool.

    In 1991 we went to the IMF becuase our reserves were at two weeks. At present we have 1.2bl or 16 weeks of reserves. The advice is that based on thr trend we should act now to shore up the reserves and not let them fall below the psychological threshhold of 12 weeks. The policymakers are being proactive in this case. They are calling on the social partnership to be a mechanism where the fiscal adjustment needed to shore up the reserves can be complimented by an aggressive public/ private investment programme. They have outlined the projects from the government side and are asking labour and capital to come to the table and work in a new way.

    The world has changed in fundamental ways. growth in our forex earning sectors was bound to be challenging over the last six years. Our tourism and real estate are mature, they need to be reinvented and refreshed. this must be private sector led. International business has been challenged first by the slowdown in the western world, then by the attack on tax planning, and in barbados case the change in canadina tax laws.

    There are always different strategies. the govt seems to have opted for the following approach:

    1. Manage domestic spend to preserve forex and the fixed exchange rate. this has been annoying and frustrating for us but if forex sectors are not firing and domestic spend continues as usual that spells disaster for the exchange rate peg.

    2. Maintain employment in the public sector, use the partnership to maintain private employment, maintain the usual social services and make selected investments in the economy.

    the recession has lasted longer than normal this has meant that the second plank of the strategy led to large fiscal deficits, the loss of the investment grade and an increase in private unemployment, but public sector employment and social services have held up as well as the forex cover. can you really win all in this environment.

    The slow down in the real estate has now began to affect the reserves and the government now needs to aggressively protect the reserves and must change strategy and cut the deficit. to manage the fall out from that investment focused on the forex sectors must be fast tracked. can the social partnership serve as an effective vehicle for this.

    You have provided us with a succinct description of the dilemma the country is facing and possibly leading to an economic quagmire of unparalleled depth.
    What is clear from your analysis is that the private sector (both workers and capital) has been the sacrificial beast carrying this fiscal burden in order to keep a largely untouched public sector feeding off a dying calf.

    Don’t you think the time is now ripe for that same public sector to shoulder its share of the national economic burden?
    Don’t you think it is high time the public sector cut or trim its cloth to suit the sails needed to manoeuvre safely through these choppy and dangerous economic waters?

    The private sector just can’t ‘tek it nah more’! It’s time some of the parasites be removed from the backs of taxpayers and go and look for a harder living in the private enterprise environment.

Do you know how many have change policies concerning per diems, partner travel and other allowances which were allowed in the good times?

    And BTW miller even with all the high debt the govt has been shouldering financial support in the privatev sector for the purpose of securing jobs. it is not as if the Private sector is going it alone. which brings me back to the point of Privitisation where when these govt entities if become privatised there would still be a high expectancy from the corporations for govt to bear some of their problems. so tell ac where are these great savings ..

    Come on lets be honest, government cuts are for more complicated to implement than private cuts. Comparing the government to a corporation is folly. The administration is currently trying to build a consensus for its program of cuts.

    By the way, the figures show that for the first six months of the year there has been a decline in government expenditure.

    major cuts are going to come in the august budget. That much is clear, the issue is how to fast track investment. If cuts come without the investment, the deficit could get even worse as revenue falls. circa UK last financial year.

    “You cut public sector jobs and you are left with fewer people to shop in private sector shops.”

    This is an axiom being played out in many countries like Greece and Spain. But where do we start to fix this uroboros type problematic challenge?

    The private sector provides the taxes to pay public sector workers and the private sector relies significantly on public sector spending.

    Now if the private sector is haemorrhaging don’t you think there ought to be some human blood letting in the public sector to ease the flow of pain through the system until a snake charmer comes along and entices the tail out of the mouth of intertwined serpent of mutual dependency of private/public sectors symbiosis?

    You seem to be opposed to anything that the Anunnaki says.

    Pause and give his remarks some reasoned thought.

    You state, and i quote ” moreover those losses from money spent by those laid off would also affect the private sector negatively when, what liitle in flows by spending ceases, due to massive lay offs in public sector”

    I too understand sensationalism after all I practice it daily here on this blog, on Sundays when I go to the “Washed in the Blood of the Lamb” gatherings and on week days when the wife has me conscripted to every ting that is happening in the church, “feed my sheep”, feed the neighbour’s dog, feed the boy scouts rabbits and feed all the indigents in B’town.

    She does not let me go to feed the Womens’ fellowship because “I am not called away from the world enough”. Dont know what that means or if it has something to do with how Sister Headley start giving me those fullsome embraces pun a Sunday morning, with her “breaseses”.

    Where in the Anunnaki’s clear reasoning and statements that layoffs are imminent, he has used the word “massive”?

    Why are you juxtaposing imminent layoffs with the word “massive”

    I will give you this, to any of the persons being laid off it is going to be a significant financial burden, as big as the Plymouth Rock, but as cliche as that statement is, we HAVE TO do a little excising, lest the cancer spread and we all die.

    Owen Seethru Arfa, in 1996, in another of his effort to fool the people, plussing the international agencies, pretending that he was doing something for the poor, embarked on what he called the great “Safety Net” experiment.

    This Safety Net mechanism, for which he had no less that 13 national consultations, pretended to develop a program for poor Bajans.

    Needless to say this was a sleight of hand exercise, like many political magicians before, and after him, Fumble and Sinkliar, notwithstanding.

    If one is asking people to take a pay cut, (this will happen after all the festivities for Kadooment are over and the people in the stupor of the ESAF fumes), I would suggest the following.

    On launching this Opt-In Salary Reduction Programme (OISRP), enlist the more socially conscious supermarkets and wholesale depots and for those qualified by virtue of their “salary reduction”, (AND those whose income tax returns show them to be deserving of thIS FACILITY), deploy a PROACTIVE EXCISE tax reduction program for specific foodstuff for all enlisted supermarkets which supply food to the Public servants who opt in the OISRP.

    Surely you must have someone who can make some sort of secure Food Information System that will record who got the food, the amount of food purchased for a given period, (as a deterrent for the shysters, like the fellows who buy items duty free for Bajans at the Shoe Shop), the discounts permitted per individual, the cumulative amounts of persons under this adaptation of the safety net, the total amount that an eligible supermarket facilitates, you know, all the things that act as safeguards to keep the merchants from tricking wunna ingrunt technocrats.

    Anyone who opts into the salary cut WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR the DISCOUNT FOOD PROGRAMME.

    None of these persons WILL BE LAID OFF.

    Now those that remain, if the opt-in and other incentives dont get you down to the $400M, and i guarantee that it wont, then you can employ the appropriate layoffs.

    @ Fumble

    History is going to record that these austerity measures will have kept us afloat from 2013 till the end of your term, unfortunately, history will record that you will be the sacrificial lamb and that you/the DLP will not survive these measures. It has always been like that the DLP is the nightwatchman, you come in, bat and rebuild, and the other vagabonds come in and rape us as well.

    One more thing, oh Sleeping Giant

    Leadership by example, wunna got to tek the salary cut too but, becuase of the level of income wunna does get pun a month, wunna will not be entitled to the national discounts at the supermarket.

    Maybe that food cut will mek Buffalo Sinckliar and the rest of the DLP Barbados Bison Squad slim down so them face can fit pun one page in de Nation

    PS. You may have to exclude Patrick Todd salaray from the cut cause you know that even though that buffoon does get $15K a month, he din had a cent to fund he election campaign in the last general election.

    Hoyos is still upset that after journalistically kissing Owen Arthur’s ass for 5 years every week in the Sunday Sun, his party did not form the government.
    The Nation newspaper must do better and give the people of Barbados the various opinions instead of slavishly following the script of their political masters in Roebuck Street.

    The Nation BLP newspaper is by far the most biased media house in Barbados. I call it the opposition echo- listen to anything Mottley says – From Dottin’s removal to the media political circus called rubbing shoulders and you will realize the Nation newspaper functions as a branch of the opposition public relations machinery. A national DISGRACE.

    The only cutting the Private Sector (and I hate using that term since too much of their activity relies on the presence of a Government entity in the form of a major buyer or a major producer of people to act as consumers) needs to be involved with is the amount of overseas spend. Now these people are in the business of spending overseas money and converting it to domestic wealth so good luck with dah pipe dream.
