You gotta go down on your knees and cry me a river

Oh you gotta go down on your knees and cry me a r-r-r-r-r-iver.

government run media is a communist concept, it is time for it to go. Let those folks go work for Kaiteur, Stabroek and Guyana times. 

Abie a wach dem donk hay.  Cheap PPP propaganda.  Dem nah ga nuff sympaty donk hay, Govt too big anyway.

I know someone who needs people to work his flower farm and do deliveries.

This is what will happen to ALL Guyanese if the THIEVES OF 28 YEARS or THE SNAKEOIL SELLING FRY CHICKEN VOMIT FOOLS ever get to lead our BEAUTIFUL Guyana. Burnhan 28 years will look like PARADISE!!! POOR MOSES, where is his Independence and other BULLSHIT he used to preach about. Blood-Sucking HYPOCRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bai like yuh geh belly wuk or wah.  Wah alyuh worry bout up deh, diss abie lil prablim.  Soon PPP gon hold new eleckshun an' story done, bak to paradise.

Nehru, to be objective, some cuts were necessary and some were vindictive.

Remember, the electorate will vote and decide who acted in their own interest. It is the democratic process that we all live by.  Let the people decide.

As for Burnham, the PNC finance critic is Mr. Donkey Cart econonomist Mr. Carl Greenidge who gave Guyana a basket case status and it send chills down most people's spine to see the AFC side by side with this worthless man. Again, the people will decide at the next election which might come sooner than five years.

Moses, has zero credibility. His recent comments in parliament amounts to probable child abuse. He is a loose cannon and lacks leadership qualities. He will end up in the political gutter.

RUMjattan, is vindictive and it will also cost the AFC votes at the next election. Time and History will decide everything.

The PNC gave us a donkey cart economy and made Guyana a donkey cart economy. They supported most of the cuts that directly affect the working class while in opposition, imagine them in office ?

We need to be patient and let the sheriff Donald take charge and govern with the parliament that the people voted into to office. Time and patience will decide everything.

As for the cuts to the state owned media, let them compete with the private media and stand on their own.

The working class Mirror Newspaper can be reprinted, in fact it should be reprinted since this was the paper that truly reflected the issues facing the working class. Laid off workers can be rehired.

We must exercise patience right now and accept the fact that the people gave us this parliament and we have to live with the consequences. Only a new elections wil change the make up of parliament and this might happen in a couple of years.

Sometimes it is better to give the opposition a chance to reveal their real agenda and then judge them at the voting booth.

Look fiscal prudence is the right way. These IDIOTS are not doing that, they want to DESTROY the Country and then say " I told you so". These are the DIMWITS we have parading as Parliamentarians. BLOOD SUCKINg PARASITES!!!!!!!!!!!!

GINA and NCN are communist concepts...time for private enterprise

Ashni could have avoided all of this only if he had used the consultative process with the AFC before tabling his bloated budget.

Stabroke and Kaiteur survived the cuts the PPP made in their revenue stream. Sharma and his employees survied Jagdeo's and the PPP's vindictiveness. Kissoon is surving his victimization by the PPP.

Let these friends, families and PPP cronies go and do mining. Too many fat cats. Meow.

Absolute nonsense.  Diss is natt bout PPP and PNC but dah peeple.  Alyuh don't geh cyarry away cazz it gon bakfiah.  Alyuh cut some waase, good, but alyuh bettah come wid some alternate projecks foa di peeple.  If alyuh nah do datt quik, di PPP gone gi alyuh a good dunkin come Septemba.  PPP gatt nuff tings pon dem side, PPP pon tap bai.

Sledge got nuff sense. He understands political reality. In politics it is today for you, tomorrow for me.

Bai, alyuh up deh see wah happan between Dem and Reps in da USA.  PNC bin gah nuff powah donk hay, army and all datt skites and PPP bruk dem bak.  PPP ah see dah limits ah dem powah, but nah mek no mistake, opposition push too hard diss gon bakfiah.  PPP gatt one big ting in dem faava, dem cud win 50%+ in nex eleckshun.

Nuff peeple talkin fatt, but dem nah knoo wah in deh peeple minds.  Dem peeple donk hay gon gi dem a good lesson come nex eleckshun.  Peeple nah wan see opposition juss brukin donk PPP, dem waan see wah PNC/AFC goa offer in return.  And leh mi tell alyuh plain and strate, no coolie waan see PNC/GDF bak in powah donk hay.

 AFC & APNU SLASH LCDS BUDGET

- $18 BILLION DOLLARS IN PROJECTS REMOVED

THIS WILL MEAN THAT:

The Amaila Falls Project will not be able to move forward, denying Guyanese the opportunity of cheaper electricity and competitiveness of our manufacturing sector

Amerindian communities across Guyana will not be able to implement projects under their Community Development Plans and supported by the Amerindian Development Fund. Hundreds of jobs and livelihood opportunities will be lost.

Amerindian communities land titling will be curtailed

Many Small Entrepeneurs and Vulnerable Groups will be denied access to grants and low interest financing

Necessary works to the Cunha Canal (East Demerara Water Conservancy) to prevent flooding will not be able to proceed

DO THESE LEADERS HAVE THE PEOPLE’S INTEREST AT HEART OR ARE THEY MORE INTERESTED IN SCORING POLITICAL POINTS?

HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN THEIR MANIFESTO PROMISES?

IS THIS THE CHANGE THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO BRING?

 Change means renovating the economic model the PPP has ie friends and family enrichment schemes, Every one of these projects needed to be reconstituted properly to really benefit the people. Take the wireless system as an example that is the PPP model. Plant a party and executive member son in a role as founder and make sure loans are channeled there and voila,....a "beneficial" project! I guess he was a small entrepreneur being bootstrapped!

The 2012 National budget can only become a legal instrument if it is assented to by president Donald Ramotar according to the Guyana constitution.

And INews Guyana was reliably informed that the parliament office is still to be informed if the president has signed or intends to sign the appropriation act, to make the budget a legally binding instrument

The budget which passed Thursday evening after a GY$20.9B cut by the opposition can only be implement, if it is assented to by the president.

Up to late Friday, a source at the Parliament office told INews Guyana, that they were awaiting a word from the president’s office on the siging of the “modified” budget.

The constitution of Guyana dictates that in order for the budget after its passage in parliament becomes an act (Appropriation Act) and for it to become a legal instrument, the head of state must assent to it.

The government had proposed a GY$192.8B 2012 Estimate of Expenditures to, among other things, fund a number of initiatives to improve the lives of the poor and vulnerable and stimulate economic growth.

However this did not get the support of the parliamentary opposition who shaved some GY$20.9B off the estimates before it was approved, plunging a number of initiatives, including the One Laptop Per Family, the Low Carbon Development Strategy, the Amaila Falls Hydropower Project, and the Information and Communications Technology initiatives and the Marriot Hotel into doubt

The cuts will also see a number of government agencies either trim their operations or closed leaving many jobless.

But the opposition maintains that the cuts were necessary to avoid ‘over spending’ and will benifit the poor Guyanese.

The president will address the nation at 8PM Friday on the budget.
