Prepare to welcome your new IMF overlords

Excellent point by that economist guy in London. Economic policy has only been changed in Ireland when it’s been too late and forced upon us.

good to see him doing well- ,akes a chnage from the dumbed down shock economics of the vincent browne show

Ah Lenihan is a smooth talker. I’ll give him that. But he has made some bollix of the country. No matter how well he can put one over on a dumb blonde like Miriam.

• The minimum wage is cut by one euro to €7.65;

• VAT will increase 1pc to 22pc in 2013 and to 23pc in 2014;

• Corporation tax will remain at 12.5pc;

• Public sector workforce to be cut by 24,750, bringing levels back to 2005 levels;

• Student fees will increase;

• Water metering will be brought in by 2014;

• Carbon tax charges will double to €30 a tonne, raising €330m.

Am i reading that right? They are about to put close to 25k more people on the dole?

And now with bringing the minimum wage down these people can expect to take home less than €300 per week. There is no incentive there to work anymore.

@The All Seeing Eye

siemens have offered to install the meters that they use in many european countries-

its piss easy to do & is the right thing to do & i think the brains in siemens have come across issues like yours before & it isnt insurmountable

you do realise that man has landed on the moon before? if so why do you think that the problem of your water pipe isnt that tough?

:lol:

i assume that dole would be cut too

i think the 25k is over 4 years- the hse asked for voluntary redundancies recently & 6k applied for it

What the document actually says is:

Cut public service staff numbers by 24,750 from end-2008 levels, back to levels last seen in 2005.

So it’s not 25k going forward, it’s 25k since 2008. There has been a recruitment ban in place since then so natural wastage over 2 years has probably seen off around 10k, coupled with the 5k redundancies from the HSE, they are only talking about cutting 10k more and again the recruitment ban will take care of most of that.

Your recent move to a right wing FF cheerleader is one of your least convincing wind ups. Comrade NCC would turn in his grave.

So there’s going to be a recruitment ban for four years in the public sector? Well there goes my master plan out the window…

Have you heard of Credit and Revenue checks Mac, the banks have easy free access to them for anyone, and i have a mate looking at them for me, simple as.

I think you are just jealous. Your the eejit for not understanding someone consolidating their time. You obviously have some cushy job and haven’t a clue about what you are talking about.

Anyway, i’m looking for holes, maybe i’ll find them. Fellas seem more interested in running me down rather than giving any suggestions. Which makes this a usless cunt of a forum sometimes. Exceptions to the lads who did genuinely give advice/make fair comment.

You sounding jealous Mac.

If Ireland is going to come out of the hole it is in, we need more guys like Kev, getting out there and getting things done. Not sitting on their holes waiting for some multinational capitalist to come riding to the rescue.
