mamaguy (sweetheart) budget 2024-25 September 30th

[death365]

Budget right around d corner, wha u expect - wha rumour yuh hear ?

i've heard:

* they will put in the budget that the CPO has been mandated to give Public Servants 7% (4 in 1st 3 years and 3 in the other) but that seems impossible
* further consultation needed before the retirement age is sent to 65


btw ah had to put (sweethaeart) in brackets cause this new generation dont kno nothing bout trini words/culture.

Edit: Live stream link added

Pure election gimmicks.
I can't wait cause they giveth and next year when re-elected they shall taketh.

Election goodies, all of a sudden $ is found.

[Dizzy28]

I heard they are going to give Nat Sec, Education and Health the three biggest allocations
Crime will not improve, we will still have dire CXC results and the health care system will still be a cause of frustration for most

[hover11]

For the entire NINE years is catcharse for the country and ban your belly, sacrifice talk from the esteemed PM. The money just isn't there constantly sung by Imbert , however, as election around the corner things that wasn't a possibility for so long will now become reality. Public servants need to understand the power play that it is only because of the elections that a salary increase is near otherwise they would have kept them suffering and delaying for as long as possible Trinis need to wise up.

As zoom always says, stupid country with stupid ppl if they put PNM back in power, we will eat the bread the devil knead.

[timelapse]

Great is the PNM (anything else I say here will be removed)

[zoom rader]

CG vessels down way way longer. I’m frequently in the 3 places that vessels are kept and it’s ridiculous to see the state of hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment just wasting away.

PNM contactors making ah money

[VexXx Dogg]

Some predictions

Bitter pills:
surprise float, citing reasons of uncontrolled increasing demand and a severely reduced supply.
RIC rate hikes to come to pass
Increases in MVT for both gas and electric
vat adjustments to certain imported food groups
increases in vice tax (casinos, alco, cigs)
introduction of sugar tax to balance the issues with health sector and diabetes complications
increase in OPT

Artificial sweeteners:
public service negotiation settlement and backpay
New HDC housing projects
Maybe few net positive income tax allowance adjustments
Vat adjustment on locally grown food to incentivise purchasing over imported
increased incentives for farming
increased incentives for solar
solar feed-in rates to earn passively
Increased options for vocational training to catch early school leavers

Just like ptsc buses, there are more avenues for racket to run in buying brand new than fixing

Its 9 budgets pass already and the citizenry accept everything that's done to them, price increases..etc. And said citizenry still lining up in the hot sun to vote for PNM.
At this point Rowley knows he could do what he wants... pass whatever budget he wants and there are no consequences to his hold on to power as PM.
"Budget Goodies" are a thing of the past.
Which government is brave enough to implement "property tax" in an election year?
Not even Patrick Manning or Eric Williams was this Brave.
Rowley however is a different Beast. He means business.

Thought PNM don't believe in election goodies, if that sixty billion correct don't be surprised if they drop the price of Gas just to secure votes. Well calculated imbert

Correct is right , PSA was made to defend WASA which is a PNM slush fund

MVT, RIC and OPT will be next year budget or 2026 if pnm wins.

It is no secret that they already made up their minds to increase T&TEC rates. Rowley doesn't see UNC as a threat but he would not take the chance and push for increases until after election.

[pugboy]

marvy change he tune
last week or something he said ttec increase not on the cards presently

What exactly can he do to mamaguy us. We already have to pay property taxes.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

September 30th is the day

What exactly can he do to mamaguy us. We already have to pay property taxes.

Increasing pensions and social welfare grants, settling public service wage negotiations at an acceptable percentage, increasing the personal tax allowance yet again. Removal of taxes off items possibly hybrid. The goal is for a re election, trinis lack the foresight to see the mamaguy but when reelected they will suffer them for another four years and only treat them nice on election years. Just remember whenever the government gives with one hand they always take with the next

No to any of those things
They know we can't afford it and would be sensible enough

[PariaMan]

Unlikely with mid year budget saying there was a 3 billion reduction in revenue

Do you recall they withdrew 300 million from the HSF fund in December and up to present time no one knows the reason for such? They didnt have the money to restructure WASA but they took a loan of $315 US million from the IDB.There are many things at this time , they knowingly cannot afford but they will find the money.
