    It’s a great win when raising the Cost of Living too innit?

    The voting on the budget gave the impression of a ‘Vote of Confidence’ on the survival of the Mahinda Rajapakse government.

    There seemed to be little debate - in parliament and in the media - on the budget itself. How will the provisions contained therein affect the common man? Or is he irrelevant?

    Were there any amendments proposed by parliamentarians and the citizenry of Sri Lanka - and have at least some of these been considered? Does the budget contain any plans to bring down inflation - now exceeding 20%?!

    As far as I know the budget just supports the Government’s war efforts that will eventually increase the Cost of Living and inflation. But what can we do? Mahinda is just playing to his advantage, the uneducated millions of this country are only satisfied with the total annihilation of the Tigers regardless of the consequences the country’s economy will have to face in the future.
