Malaise Maltais Here we are, we were listening to the boring Budget 2009 speech, which left use very much wondering. We got to know that our public finances went very well over board, not our fault really, just wrong timing and unexpected events. We did not expect the rise of the price of oil, we forgot about the end of the year deadline for the shipyards, that the time of pump millions in subsidies is ending. All these little things out of our own little control just screwed up our budget. Well, next year, we will do it better.

We are builders, we turn every little place into a construction site, we are like sims, we build everywhere, we dig, we extract, we are happy folks. We believe in what we do, stone by stone. Enriched with the eur 4 COLA rise, we will ride with our de-taxed bicycles to our working place, maybe just for four working days a week, thinking about how to cover the re-payment of our loans...think positive, we will survive thanks to the increased taxes we are going to pay: the road taxes, energy surcharges, plastic bags, light bulb taxes,... will all contribute to our public transport, we will be given free flying carpets just to cruise from one place to another, without any bad conscience. We live in a complete absurdity, measures being imposed to the majority by an illegitimate government through an artificially created majority in Parliament. Yes sirs, you do not represent the majority of the Maltese votes, you were short by a few thousands votes, that does not give you any rights on us to decide on policies we disagree on...Declare yourself incompetent and pave the road to new elections, there is no shame in it, absolutely not, you will than always be remembered as brave and honest ...
