2015/2016 Budget - Trinidad & Tobago

[Numb3r4]

A good budget...I think that Imbert despite the doubt concerning his appointment did a good job.

Even after the presentation I thought that was a good interview. Both parties answered well.

hmmm

So before it cost me around 40TTD to fill up my diesel Hyundai Accent.

Now it's gonna cost me 46TTD.

If that $6 is a huge problem then you shouldn't own a car in the first place.

Bodow....
That's just a Trini expressing their view, being accustomed to freeness mentality!!!!
Then again $6 increase on his tank, but is how often he gonna have to put diesel to pay this $6 extra...
I'm assuming a diesel engine in an Accent can be a PH or Taxi. In this event the cost would be handed down to the passenger...who would most likely pay towards this cost bout 20 times b4 fill up...

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

I agree with Rowley on what he will do with GATE. Give it only to those who cannot afford it, too many rich kids driving new SUV and accessing GATE and this should not be.

Also this 10 billion they spending on national security, will this mean that police will actually come now when you call?

I think teems1 was just being sarcastic with his comment.

With respect to your statement:

. . . I'm assuming a diesel engine in an Accent can be a PH or Taxi. . .

You do know that Massy Motors sells Hyundai Accents with a diesel engine straight from the factory?

[bluesclues]

So "Kams"was right to use the helicopter.

Given the traffic yes. Unfortunately the rest of we dont have our own helicopters.

Maybe if "Kams" was still in power she would have announced a helicopter service from San Fernando to PoS.

she was also about to announce that the country bankrupt and the economy crash. we get she out in the knick of time. never again. sing it with me.. never again kamla.

Nat. Security is a lot more than the police service. They should come no matter the budget tho

[buckredan]

Goverment have to stabilize the country by over spending by the last goverment they had no choice good going by the government

I didn't sense that from the choice of words...

[EmilioA]

So normally I does fill up 100 dollars a week. So now 15 extra every week minus vacation days thats 700-800 a year extra now. So the extra 250 I wasnt paying in Income Tax gone now.

[The_Honourable]

Anything on property tax?

Restarting in Jan 2016 using 2009 rates and would be adjusted as time goes on to realistic market rates.

She might have rode out on the last helicopter.

Bye bye Kamla bye bye! Sing it with me kids.

[Numb3r4]

Also they have seemed to have agreed to get the IDB involved in the local financial situation. Looks to be good...from what I gather we were placed under IDB sanctions at one point and we survived, might just be the kick we need.

[Richard Marshall]

So gas and diesel went up. Does this mean an increase in transport fees?

[Numb3r4]

Wait for what the Maxi-Taxi Association has to say or even PTSC.

[nismodriver]

Transport is merely a portion of the total costs of goods and services (both manufactured and imported). Any business who increases his cost by the 15% and cites that diesel gone up merely engaging in shameless profiteering.

So if any business man raises cost of goods and services, we boycotting?
Question, does this affect electricity?

Powergen generates electricity using natural gas received at favorable rates. Diesel does not affect electricity rates.

Whey boy, people not realising that the reason for the increase in nat security budget is because they have absorbed the ministry of justice? so prisons and forensics now back under MNS.

Hadeed of the TTMA just said that manufacturer prices shouldn't be increased because of diesel prices as in the grand scheme of things fuel is only about 10-15% of expenditure so would relate to a 2% increase in cost of goods/services.. but as everyone says its the non vat/tax payers who will raise pieces (taxis/parlours etc)

and i have to agree with something he said, that the fuel subsidy may have been better removed totally in one shot, let everyone cuss and complain and only raise their prices once and not raise it every time the subsidy is reduced and prices increase.

[The_Honourable]

Bhoe Tewarie is a lil bit... perturbed lol

Diane Hadad being real and hitting hard in terms of Tobago issues.

[ToyotaPower]

People should stop complaining...Great is the PNM...great budget...lol...Just deal with it. On another note, I find the PM should get trained on public speaking, tackle questions being asked by the media head on and stop hiding/ diverting questions to his ministers, like he clueless about the nation.

Just my two cents.
