The big issue with buying the JET for the Trinidad Governmet?

Question

Personally I have no qualms about it, however, its a growing controversy (that will die down soon and brought back to life again, when it breaks down)

Check out this picture I've just received via email - really made me laugh! Imagine what the Opposition might say!

Answer 2

I say buy A jet, prob just not THAT jet, maybe one that is less expensive so you can have the same benefits with less outcry and expense.

Answer 3

TS, i like you, me ent have no problem with the man buying ah jet, it done have ah client list for the use ah d jet aready, so other people will be helping pay for upkeep and maintenance and aviation fuel. so what is we problem.  if allyuh have enough money, organise and fly on it too.

Answer 4

I say that Mr Prime Minister as head of state should buy the jet. He is Head Of State. Why not? We pay taxes, we have revenue from oil!! Use the money.

Use the leftover money after fixing up the hospitals; after making sure our doctors are paid, after pouring a few millions into our health care system and our schools.

Our prime minister obviously needs this jet so he can fly to and from meetings here and there because the traffic along the east-west corridor is at a stand still. Oh! and if he needs to go to meetings in Tobago.

I say buy the jet.

Answer 5

Listen !

I am a taxpayer !!

If the gov want to buy and expensive jet with my money, I d**n well be able to fly on it every weekend !!

For free !!

I pay my taxes !!

I put him in office and I say no jet for you !!

None !!

I give 0 damns about what bush or blair or anyone else flies in !

You want a jet ?!

Pay for it out of your own pocket !!

Not the treasury !!

Maybe if politicians had to use normal Caribbean Airlines planes, they will see how poor the service is and actually do something to improve it !

I do not consent !!

Answer 6

I say let Manning have his jet. That way he can go visit his common sense on a regular basis...we all know it's on an extended leave of absence.

Answer 7
