[Numb3r4]

How much was inherited from the previous administration?

And how much of that was inherited from the administration before that one?

[matr1x]

Good question. Patos and his band of misfits incurred huge debt. But nobody wants to talk about that. For what he and his band of "community leaders" did to the population, I spit on his grave.

They both screwed us! Manning and Rowley more so as they saw financial crises/current crisis during their tenure and decided to keep the party going by borrowing and borrowing instead of being fiscally responsible.

They told us to tighten our belt while they loosened theirs and continued feed themselves at the feeding trough.

Lots of people complaining about the gluttony but still defending the property tax. Attempt to fight it essentially getting resistance by those who support the regime

Change your lifestyle to a waste of time CPEP worker who squatting on state lands and letting your 8 chirren (two of whom you suspect may be the neighbour chirren) get free tertiary education while you feed them all with a food card and you will end up getting loads in return for the taxes that you NOT PAYING.

Man leave out transfer tax. Every car sold they eating ah food.

I actually meant the gluttony of the government and their leader. I can tell you there are minister children and financiers children taking some high level positions. I wasn't defending this administration at all.

The pnm supporters complain about bad spending and unfairness but justified property tax because their lord and massa say it's important

Note the decidedly political, and condemnatory language. Isn't MoNS supposed to be apolitical? Where were the statements when the TTPS, which is listed first among MoNS agencies virtually shut down the entire country? When thugs and lawbreakers burn debris and shut down areas?
Dumblon really is a flunky yes!

Well folks the numbers are in we are currently in debt to the tune of 123 billion dollars give or take a few hundred million.

You should give yourselves a good pat on the back ... this has to be a new record for us here in sweet T&T.

The real Prime minister quoted a different figure when presenting the Mid Year Review in Parliament. Did he lie? If the total debt is $123b, then this is debt to GDP ratio of 100%?

Lord put ah hand .............

Central Gov debt is around 60 billion. Is that the figure he quoted? But total debt is around that 123 billion mark.

I remember during the last election when a red and ready brigade was heading down south. They stopped off by freeport, and this gigantic buffalypso of a woman was wining down the place.

Shamfa’s $59,000 phone BILL

Tourism Minister racks up whopping total in 4 days...

Minister of Tourism Shamfa Cudjoe incurred a cellphone bill of $59,059 over a four-day period--January 29 to February 3, 2017.

This was the claim of temporary United National Congress (UNC) Senator Christlyn Moore, who read out the bill in the Senate during debate on the mid-term budget review last night.

Moore referred to statements made by Agriculture Minister Clarence Rambharat about the need for everyone to “cut and contrive”. She told Rambharat that all his colleagues may not share his “lofty sentiments”.

MID YEAR REVIEW EXCERPT:

Madam Speaker, with respect to the public debt, about which there is much
misinformation and misplaced commentary, it is important to note that the net
public sector debt, exclusive of Central Bank open market operations, at the
end of fiscal 2010 was $45.4 billion, with a corresponding debt-to-GDP ratio
of 32.1 percent. However, by the end of fiscal 2015, the net public sector debt
stood at $76.5 billion with a resulting debt-to-GDP ratio of 50.9 percent – an
increase in the net public sector debt of $31.1 billion, equivalent to a 70%
increase in our debt over the 2010-2015 period. Coupled with declining
revenues, this massive increase in debt in that prior period has presented us
with another serious financial challenge.

It should be noted that at the end of fiscal 2016, net public sector debt was
$87.6 billion, largely as a result of the US$1 billion international bond issue
raised in July/August 2016, which equated to a debt-to-GDP ratio of 60.1
percent. However, during the period under review, i.e. for the first six months
of fiscal 2017, despite our very serious financial challenges, the net public
debt only increased to $89.1 billion, representing an increase in our debt-toGDP
ratio of just 1 percentage point to from 60.1 percent to 61.1 percent
between October 2016 and March 2017, in stark contrast to the excesses of
the past.

The above is straight from the horse's a@se in parliement on the Mid Year Review.
Looking forward to Sunity Maharaj-Best response from the the Lloyd Best Institute or something like that .......

The leader of opposition has indicated that the figures does not reflect loan guarantees, bonds raised by state sector entities such as a $1.5 billion bond issue to TSTT ...............
