Yay belt tightening is officially over :p
http://guardian.co.tt/news/general/2009/07/29/time-release-your-belts-pmEight months after Prime Minister Patrick Manning called on citizens to tighten their belts, he is now telling them that they can afford to relax. “I would like to suggest to you that whereas we had called on you to tighten your belts at the first sight of the downturn in the United States, I must now say the time has come for you to release your belts,” Manning said, as he received a thunderous applause from businessmen at a breakfast meeting at Paria Suites Hotel, La Romaine. “We realised that when we called for belt-tightening citizens responded; now you can release the belt so you can breathe,” the Prime Minister said. Reiterating that his Government had promised citizens that the country was not going to head into a recession, Manning said it was time to increase the level of economic activity.
