EW FEDERAL BUDGET?
I think it affects me because it affects every citizen. I think
that the Liberal government is attempting to do the right thing
and get us back on track. I’m most
happy about it. It’s concept is like going
to the doctor when you get sick, we also
need to get some medicine which might
not taste so good but it seems that you
got to take that medicine to recover.
I don’t feel good because my pension will be affected. I’m
quite disappointed and unhappy about it. The $7 additional fee
to the doctors is fair enough, but the
student’s increased fees is just too bad
as they are really affected. I feel that the
new federal budget is total murder to
the public in general. It’s a stab in the
back.
In a way, yes, I am affected. I think the Seniors just like my
mother and the citizens with poor health are the most affected
as they are the ones who need to visit
the doctor more often. The budget is
favouring the rich and it’s a punishment
for the middle class and the poor.
