people speak: the best of our social network feedback

Do you agree with financial analyst, Ralston Hyman, that cuts in Gov't spending to meet fiscal targets are sending more J'cans into poverty?

We have two choices: 1. Grow the economy or 2. Cut expenditures. I am not a supporter of the austerity-only approach, but we certainly cannot continue to live above our means.

'Emancipate' the many buildings that have been locked for years and turn them into factories. Give the people work and remove the shackles of poverty from them.

That is just wrong. That 50 million could have been spent better. That's like putting a Band-Aid on a festering sore, which is bound to result in gangrene.

Both sides have sunk the country into poverty. Too many old minds. It's time for reform. They need to pack their bags and go!

No sah. If this ingenuity could be harnessed and focused into valid entrepreneurism, we'd be better as a people.

It's simple: give a man a fish, you feed him for today; teach him how to fish, you feed him for life.
