[abbow]

all this bs about which gov should have done what and what they should be doing....

question remains.....which one of the pm's and their minions under them cared a rats ass about country and what really happens within the 5-10 years they are in power????? they all do what they want when in gov and then when they are out they blame the other...

our political system is a mess, our politicians is the problem...always has, always will.

just look at our most recent PM's and the bs each did while in power....

panday and the airport, manning and rev pena, calder hart, kams and ...and...I dunno which one to put here.....feeling confused now

Don't add taxes to people and say it is better for their health, that reeks of sanctimonioussness, smugness and arrogance

http://nypost.com/2015/02/20/proposed-f ... bloomberg/

An influential nutritional panel sounded the alarm Thursday against sugary drinks and recommended taxing sodas to help stem America’s obesity problem.

“Higher sugar-sweetened-beverage taxes may encourage consumers to reduce sugar-sweetened-beverage consumption,” the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee said in a 571-page report Thursday.

The nutrition-focused panel even suggested that soda-tax revenues could subsidize much healthier fruits and vegetables.

The heavy-duty federal recommendation was vindication for Bloomberg.

The former mayor tried but failed to impose taxes and portion limits on sugary drinks.

“This esteemed Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has caught up with New York City,” said Dr. Thomas Farley, Bloom­berg’s health commissioner who was the architect behind the anti-soda push.

I fail to see your point. A duly appointed committee advised the State of New York, the key word being advised, that sugary drinks be taxed as a way to maybe "encourage consumers to reduce sugar-sweetened-beverage consumption" Here we have a MoH upon facing a public outcry, saying essentially well the tax will benefit you to eat healthier anyway (never mind that we're adding VAT to tuna and yoghurt). Chalk and cheese my friend. Nobody shoved it down New Yorkers throats is my point.

Why the UK government is going sweet on a sugar tax

Again after being advised by a duly appointed panel of health care experts. What statistics did Deyalsingh used? Which panel advised him using what study? PNM loves to set up committees to review things, why not here?

Numbnuts, I told you before government must not be allowed to run a business.
Governments past and present has failed in business.
Diversification to what?
What factories you want?

Trin work ethics is poor and will not support these changes.

Only the private sector can bring about change. When they invest money they expect to get a return and good quality staff.

Having this government run any business is a no no.

We running out of boats to miss.

Well then you should be happy the PNM not doing any of that. Why you vex so ?

Perhaps you should be asking the Chamber of Commerce for thier economic plan.

Love how you made it seem that all the financial issues as having started in 2010. No Government has had the will, well maybe the NAR and look what it got them, to tackle this issue head on. They rather keep their supporters in tow with freeness. This PNM Government is no exception. So far all I'm hearing is talk, and pulling of a couple dollars here and there. Honestly, the PNM in my opinion is guiltier because they had more time in Gov't, and they certainly had more natural resources.

Chamber of commerce does not run the country, it's the PNM Financiers that do.

[Redman]

like there are PNM financiers and then another group of financiers for the UNC...

At some point some here should realize that there are Financiers.

..elections too important to be left up to the people.

But ent you now tell me that govt shouldnt run business ? And that only the private sector can bring change ? It right there in the quotes.

Ent that mean we should be looking to the private sector for they plan to get through the recession ?

PNM paving the way for its financiers for total control of the business market.

ZR forgetting that the exploiters and thieves doh only wear red ... They does wear yellow as well.

[Redman]

well we ALL still see the UNC's economic strategy everyday, all those with BENZ, BMW , AUDI, and so forth that are just about 1-2 years old and they never had money before.

I would love any one to defend the UNC POLICY of running deficits while revenues were higher than ever-for the 5 year period.2010-15.
What was the UNC plan for this period.

[Habit7]

^^^You not suppose to talk about that, PNM in power now, that's their problem. You only suppose to complain that after 4 months the problem not resolved yet and UNC would have done better. But then you remind them of UNC 5 years of mismanaging the economy and they tell that doesn't matter, PNM in power now.


It's a vicious cycle apparently.

PNM financiers summons the PNM Prime Minister.



PM discusses the economy with Ansa McAl executives



Date: 
Wednesday, January 27, 2016

Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley has asked met with executives of the Ansa McAl Group of Companies and has discussed the economic climate with them.

A statement from the Office of the Prime Minister says that Dr Rowley "attended a breakfast meeting with top executives of the ANSA McAL Group of Companies today, Wednesday 27th January, 2016 at the company’s offices on Maraval Road, Port of Spain".

The statement says,

"On addressing the gathering, Prime Minister Rowley articulated that  Government has accepted that revenue from oil and gas will continue to be weak for some time and that Government intends to bring expenditure in line with revenue.

"He informed that his Administration has inherited contracted commitments in the vicinity of $63B, but that Government is committed to meeting its contractual obligations despite the serious challenges being faced.

"Dr. Rowley went on to express his confidence that we, the people of Trinidad and Tobago, have it within us to overcome our trials, especially since Government intends to preserve acquired gains and seize the opportunity to do better.

"Dr. Rowley also called on ANSA McAL to continue to demonstrate its commitment to Trinidad and Tobago by being a good corporate  citizen."
