Every govt will have to take loans and entertain the public

Oh no is it 6 trillion only and it is in rupees -isn't it? Listen to this: America, most wealthiest country on the planet, is indebted to the tune of $16 trillion guys. And it is in American dollars and counting. They owe, China alone $ 3trillion. And there is no way of paying such a huge sum of money. So they are printing machines. I mean money printing machines are doing overtime and they call it in economic terminlogy as Quantitve Easing. Did you hear that?

SL govt makes about Rs. 3000 million in import duty of ONLY wheat flour. Imagine how much money it will be making considering all the other taxes.
the big question is how all this money ens up in Swiss bank accounts. Swiss govt has admitted Sri Lankans have been the biggest depositors of money in Swiss banks for 2 years in a row.

Only the UNP can repay this loan

Rs 285.715.28 for each SL to be precise. and why do most SL's use the word Lakshs? there no such word as this its an Indian thing. just say hundreds or thousands or Rupees.
warra8 Thursday, 01 November 2012 01:11 AM
all construction should be put on hold. specially if it consists borrowing to build a road. this is bad prediction. if the debt is going up. tenders or bonds should be raised for inverters to flood the market with revenue. or even through bills. what are all the finance people and treasurers doing approving all theses loans. the way the country should move is attract more inverters. or invest is research and technology.

It may go up to 10 trillion before the budget as 4 more is required to balance it.

Our future generation will curse us when they get to know all these. Neither the people nor country has benefited from these loans. There will not be a country for our children to be inherited.
Premalal Wednesday, 31 October 2012 01:53 AM
It looks like we are heading for disaster at break-neck speed. Very soon the foreign debt service cost would overtake worker remittances, Then God help the ordinary citizens of this country. The people who lead us there would be enjoying their loot.

As expected, borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. What happens when Peter refuses to lend. Borrow from Noodles?
