Budget Speech 2020

John Tempus said:
I would have loved a government making decision with above average IQ and actually forward thinking beyond the next election. All the decisions made here is to keep all the useless workforce at SOE's happy to continue voting for the same idiots who caused the SA downfall.

Scrap the SOE's , use that bailout money to support the essential SOE such as Eskom not to collapse. Do actualy proper accounting with Eskom and claw back the corrupt contract funds.

Scrap thousands of useless government employees which account for 35% of our yearly budget. If we could cut that in half and clean up an extra R300 billion on that wasted spend it could go a long way without even increasing any rates.

You know, actual governing and not just increasing the milking machine without fixing the holes in the sinking boat.

I know that is all unrealistic because it actually means doing some work rather than just spiking up levys and fronting more finances for failing cr@p like SABC, SAA and the likes.

Let us know when you come back to reality.

Well you must be part of the sub par IQ government officials else you would have known there is an ignore button. I know you are just trying to score brownie points because replying with this comment is beyond brain dead.

I stated good alternatives, rebuke what I stated and why it is not a better actual turn around than just ever increasing spend by the SA government. You cant!

Please point me to the ignore button, o wise one.

I am in reality thus the options laid out and its not at all the only options.

The fact the "new reality" for people seems to be to just keep accepting the shoveled **** and dress it up as if it is acceptable is laughable.

So let me understand this correctly, they are raising sin taxes and fuel levies etc but not VAT or PAYE. The shortfall that everyone is warning about will be made up of?

Cutting government spending?

Selling off SOE's has been beaten with a dead horse, it won't ever happen. Purely put the unions keep the government hostage, even with this wage bill cut there is going to be massive pushback.

Actually, put in my true amount, there is something funky about that calculator - claims I will save R10 000/month in taxes! I don't even pay that in income taxes per month.

Same here, showing a saving on R10k a month.
