The new government may promise to ‘hit the ground running’, and that its first 100 days will be crucial to the success of its programme of ambitious reforms. However, you and I might want to keep our expectations somewhat lower.
The single largest problem facing this state is the enormous debt we carry, both collectively and individually.
The volume of interest we are being charged for the €85 billion EU/IMF bailout alone can only be paid if at least €5-€10 billion worth of other bills are cut, or we find €5-€10 billion of extra revenue.
Oh we know the plan.. rape the citizens and keep doing it until all commerce and wealth in Ireland is gone. Then, since we’ll be losing those businesses and funds they generate, we WILL lose our sovereignty in order to get our country back on track.
Instead of raping the citizens with the USC and other new taxes the new Governemnt is dreaming up, they should be dropping taxes and dropping this stupic USC tax NOW.
Already, 75% of graduates are committed to jobs in other countries. We’ll have another exodus from Ireland AGAIN, and hell I’ll probably be one of them.
Well said,
How about also stopping people coming into the country and signing on and not looking for a job.
Or how about we get the HELL out of the euro and get back our freedom.
Or the last thing to do but no country will do it is CLEAR ALL DEBT and start a new era, but like I said no country will do that because every country enjoys the power they hold over another country.
