Things to remember the Government for?

[Firewall]

This is NOT to bash and say "oh gorde _________ is a ****.

Actually is based on the premise that trinidadians actually DO have a 10 second memory.

Try to remember as much as you can about the misdeeds of the present government.

And actually be as precise as possible

(e.g. inflation raise from x% to y%)

Both GOOD and BAD

Isn't that the problem? (proof that it is the government's fault), the police did not, do not address the issues.

While I'm fully for social responsability, the fact is we pay the government to protect us and provide basic facilities (tax), on top of which they remove my basic ability to protect myself (gun laws).

Infrastructure/Crime issues are 100% the fault of the government.

See my reply above ...

PNM does the same thing every time they get into power, this is a repeat of the 80's ...

p.s. for all the oil men on the board, hope you knwo what happened in the 80's as well

[Firewall]

anything else?

[joker]

Flooding

the gov't is not entirely to blame .....

[sMASH]

what about de 3 blimps that our taxes bought,,, how much value for money we getting,

the palace,,, and the new curtains hazel put up for osama to come and see,,, value for money spent

the patrick manning stadium at taruba,,, money spent, going to spend compared to the use we will get from it.



i have no problem for spending money, but make sure the return justifies it,,

we do not need a billion dollar tv screen to one-up wit kfc, when the hospitals dont have medicine to give out

[trdboy]

pros : free education, tax alleviation..ammmmm looks like daz it!!

cons : free water down education, corruption like waaw, ministry of health in chaos..babies dying every month, kidnapping and murders and crime gone rampant, agriculture down to an abysmal low, urbansiation and infrastructure over development leading to rise in flooding, inflation sky rocketing and food price at record highs, sucky roro policies, NO FRIGGING TRACK TO RACE ON, traffic, decline from an already inefficient police service and national security on the whole, blatant mismanagement of tax payers money; blimps, palace, a million and one stadium, AND KAKAHOLE MINISTERS LIKE COLM IMBERT AND KAREN TESHEIRA.....

wats the point of free education when one day u travelling to school and u get kidnapped, raped and murdered??? and if u lucky to survive u end up in the hospital where the chances of u coming alive was better in the kidnappers hands, and then hada give a report to the idiotic popo who will ask u 'so what was the exact time when they were raping u and what did u notice in the room while u were screaming for ur life"

[sMASH]

trdboy, u get the point of how to manage development... u doh jus get an idea, and build wit tax payers dollars.

that big structure they buildin nex to the hospital in sando,,, they putting it in the middle of the traffic, so is more traffic due to more workers goin there, more traffic due to more customers having to use the facilities, more obstacles in emergency situations.
they could have built the thing outta tha traffic somewhere, like, i dunno, by the bottom of the highway by southland mall. not congesting the already congested sando, enough space to handle emergencies, still equally accessible to persons going to sando, more accessible to persons comming from east, north. since it takin most of the govt departments outta sando,, congestion inside the town would be reduced,

jus my two cents,,,but what do i kno, i cyar spel gud,
* finishes breakfasses, and tinks about a paradigim shift for the duwens and parrots*

[trdboy]

this government does operate like a typical horny man..go in head first with a blood rush and after he buss up the nanny and smoking a cig back pedals and wonder if she have something..........there are no evident pro-active thinking whatsoever only acting, reacting and overreacting and then millions for damage control, publicity and saving face!! and doh get me started on denials lawwd!!!!

[evo-STI-k]

Traffic
Flooding
Crime/murder/kidnapping- just look around
Idiotic policies on RORO

Inflation- very much Self Explanitory

Infrastructure issues

Our spiral down on the World statistics (WEF as e.g)
Corruption/nepotism on an unseen level (wife being minister, son given contracts, health minister's son owning a pharmacy chain)

Complete waste of funds/resources, e.g. Stadiums, Blimp, helicopters, etc and the Hilarious fact that the minister who is basically in charge of Construction is saying that we are wasting money to bring back an investigator. however always justifys costs overuns on projects.

Supression of press/media- the inability to voice your opinion about any of the ministers in government without losing your job.

Idiot ministers involved in a TEA CUP throwing incident that was apparently MORe important that governing the COUNTRY itself!

The DEATH of agriculture and the corrupted and favored distribution of LANDS.

The Congestion of govt offices into the HEART of the capital!

The destruction of the local manufacturing sector and the idiotic support of a HANDout program!

and the list goes on and on on ON and ON and ON and ON and ON
