Memberyou know i think they are idiots, cap their wages and bankers wages, like obama did in us, not screw the rest of the works in the country…..
how annoying….lower vat rate like in uk, encourage price reductions and people will spend, higher the taxes and people will not be able to afford to spend….with people having already taken wage decreases and juggling things around in order to cope, now they say add more tax that’ll screw people up……
oooohhh they annoy me

Member👿 👿 When on earth is the next election due to be held??? Get them out!! Don’t know if any of the other parties would do a much better job but my God they couldn’t do it any worse..it’s not possible!! 👿 👿

MemberI reckon they will scrap the ECS..they gave it when times were good, we did without it then we can do without it now (i dont get it so it doesnt affect me, but i never relied on it)
I dont think they can do anything really to CB as if they do go down the lines of means testing it that means more money on staff, admin etc etc, there best bet is to leave it at €166 per child weather you have 1 or 8, the amount shouldnt go up if you have more than 2 if you get me…get us out of this hole once and for all.

MemberI won’t be surprised if they do scrap the ECS – like you said we managed without it before, we can do it again.
I wouldn’t like to see the childrens allowance touched! But God knows what is going on in their tiny little minds!
When is this happening anyway??March 6, 2009 at 9:20 am #70715yummymummy
