I think that's only applies to ppl getting NIS payments.

[noobie]

That affects a lot of people, and it is exactly what people predicted would come from Government as part of their 'reduced spending' but Continued Construction agenda.

[cincuanta]

I hope this is not true..but with less revenue being generated from falling oil prices,the Govt will need to find ways to cut spending.
Individuals who experience this reduction are most likely receiving NIS payments.
Tighten All Yuh Belt ppl

[gencon]

yes sit is very true, someone i know very well only got 800 pension this month, he also gets NIS payments. And its always the poor man and poor old man too apparently who has to foot the bill for government cost cutting.

This Is truth, granny now open hers & she call me 2 read it over to see if they made a mistake & yes she gets NIS. All these senior citizens who worked their socks off in the past to bring the country to where it is today & this is what they do to them? Y manning doh thighten his belt until he choke & dead.

[slick]

Well from what I understand, if the person receives NIS payments of $1,000 or more, then the person will get a reduced sum in their Senior Citizens Grant.

Those who receive less than $1,000 from NIS should not be affected.

But yet Manning say CEPEP and URP jobs will stay and in fact they will create more jobs there.

Maybe your grannies can go apply?

[cincuanta]

Manning did say that there will be minimal cuts in the PNM's "social" programs. Guess we will be passing the 600 murder mark in 2009

I don't see any goverment ministers taking any pay cuts, in fact the salary review commission increased their salaries several times over the last couple of years, even though they pratically live off the state (i.e. we hard working tax payers) not to mention the number of allowances they have for housing etc

[nioboi]

Actually it is not only people receiving N.I.S Payments getting affected but anyone earning more than $1000.00 per year.

[aR&D]

most vindictive, wicked and evil administration ever is the PNM-Manning Admin!
