    €55 billion needed to Run Ireland - €38 billion coming in

    AM i right with these figures?

    Dermot Ahern said them on Morning Ireland.


    If so we are borrowing -

    €17billion a year
    €46.7 Million a day
    €1.99 million an hour
    €316,666 a min
    €5,277 a second

    Some black hole

    Thats the reality that none is yet prepared to face.
    Everyone knows it.
    Then throw in the bank disaster.
    At the moment the goverments is talking about five year plans to sort this issue out.
    I think we will be lucky to get 12 months before outside agencies sort it for us.
    Its only a chat, we ain't the world council.
    In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.

    Actually it's worse Iarmhi.He said it's 33 Billion coming in,and even this disastrous figure is constantly being revised downwards.

    If you take in 38 billion you can only pay out 38 billion. It is this logic that has escaped the left, the poverty industry and the public sector.

    Its worse , IMO they will be lucky to haul in 30billion.If you listen to FF pulling figures out of the sky in the last year would you have any faith those figures.In one week during the start of the year said Cowen 40 billion, DA reckon 38 million,Mary "Taniste" 36 billion ,now 33 billion bets are it will be lower.

    A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.

    Ah but its not our fault.
    Its unfettered capitalism.
    There were no reservations when the benefits were coming in.
    Well its stopped for all of us now.
