Budget 2015

[Thick Face Black Heart]

A little sparrow spoke to me
Budget 2015 will be a wee bit tiny
For the young ones and our foreign trash
Only the Pioneer Generation will get the cash

Business productivity will be the focus
And SG50 will be the financial locus
Of the government's efforts to buy our vote
But see through we must this sugar coat

The aged will benefit, the government will answer
In their own inimitable vocabulary - using terms like inter-generational transfer!
Healthcare spending and active aging
But none for those with hormones still raging

When Tharman delivers his speech many will be disappointed
As many would all be expecting an election year budget
But goodies will be only for the select few
The rest of us will be left high and dry to collect dew

'Inter-generational transfer' = 'There is no free lunch, we are bribing your elderly for votes, so be filial, stop complaining,suck it up and pay for the bribe on our behalf'.

What was the figure did that shiny bald Indian gave the last time, was it 550,000 55 years to 64, 450,000 65 & above, or the other way round, when he announces the Pioneer thing? In other words, 1 point something million old foggers voters. They are depending heavily on the these OLD IS GOld, "baby boomers"...to give them, that " BOOM, BOOM"..ha ha ha So must hand out the candies ( many of them are already diabetic...ha ha ha ha)....so that they will get MORE GOod YEARS ( GO..)...

The 1.point something million swing...is significant.....for many of PIONEERS, despite of what they hate the PxP..are too feeble & have no balls, to change..

We are shafted again?

 

[johnny333]

Doubt it will work because it is the PAP who refuses to return baby boomers their CPF, which is worth more then whatever handouts the PAP are likely to give out.

Singapore Budget 2015

I hope that there would lots of goodies for sinkies and foreigners alike. We want all to feel welcomed in Singapore. We also pray for more funding for People's Association, so that we can carry out more social projects to reach out to more people at the grassroots level.

Huat Ah!

Election not this year. More likely Dec 2016. They have given up trying to win and are focused on trying to stay for as long as possible.

If you are not a PIONEER, you will most likely get nothing.

They are expecting a repeat of 2011 or even a slight improvement

Just like the "koyot" seller of old, make a lot of noises, do a lot of stances....put the coconut on the chair...want to chop..but talk, talk, talk, talk...for 30 mins ha ha ha

sounds familiar ??
