I’m not sure what this article was about.

Basically means cut, chop, slice for the next 8 budgets….

QE3 Lets get positive wohoo .The headline in itself is a negative comment so what’s left to say.

Cue loads of negative comments from people who don’t even know what the letter means

I think we can safely say that this is more bollocks designed to stump any serious policy changes within Europe. What a pity. Ireland is in a perfect position to shake off the medieval political past and completely transform itself into a 21st Century society, and yet conservatism and elitism still remain rampant.

I’m going to mention the dole! I live in West Cork which I suppose has a pretty high unemployment rate. Everyone I know on the dole would rather be working, with a very few exceptions who wouldn’t be great on the job anyway. These people are bright and imaginative and resourceful and are constantly trying to think up new business ideas to get themselves moving. Unfortunately the current stagnant climate isn’t helping. The question for me isn’t how much is x paid, or how much does y get in allowances, but how much does it take for each individual/family to live in modern Ireland and is that money available? If it is not then how can we reduce living expenses- food and energy esp- whilst increasing community involvement and encouraging everyone to have a go at what they each do best. We need to start thinking about the production of food and energy to avoid the trap of fluctuating and constantly increasing costs of imports.
: )

Well whatever it said Im sure Im against it!!

2020=8 more years of cuts wherever possible except for in governments and banks ha what a joke it’s the Irish citizens and families and children that will end up on the streets of Ireland due to the retardedness of our government in throwing billions and billions of OUR money into failing banks.

This governments fiscal policy is to tow the line and see what happens and i suppose because we are a spot on the arse of europe they have no choice. The most disappointing thing is that rather than solve the internal inequities in the country they continue the usual lets look after the boys routine. Fine gael are exactly the same as fianna fail. What disgusts me is the leadership of the labour party who have moved further right than their government partners. Brendan howlin summed it up during the week. when he had a chance to make a small adjustment for the good, but he copped out. Some of those allowences were laughable and before any p.s. person comes on to lash me, I understand that frontline staff in the p.s are totally undervalued.
rant over!
