They encompass everything from populism, public spending, debt, to megaprojects. If you'll pardon the lengthy quotation, one extract is worth considering:<br /><br />"The worst placed are those countries whose budgets are not only oversized but also unbalanced. Borrowing from their own central banks would spur inflation, while putting a heavier tax burden on an increasingly impoverished population would not be easy. The only way out of the squeeze is to cut spending, starting with capital expenditures. However, phasing out infrastructure and other mammoth projects that governments use to create jobs could cause mass unemployment and social unrest. Shrinking capital spending may also trigger infighting among the corrupt elite, as its major source of illicit enrichment dwindles."<br /><br />As the provincial government searches for new markets for its debt, they luckily do not share the challenges faced by sovereign petrostates. But, in light of global trends in oil production, prices, and debt markets, the question is not whether NL will be forced to make drastic cuts to public spending but when. The real issue is not what the provincial government chooses to do but, rather, what it will be forced to do. <br /><br />As John Cassidy and others have pointed out, economic bubbles foster amnesia. So long as oil prices remained high, few people talked about the dramatic downturn just 30 years ago. The same holds true for credit markets. So long as credit remains readily available, few people talk about what will happen when it becomes prohibitively expensive. <br /><br />The common presumption is that, whatever happens in the future, the provincial government will always find buyers for its debt at manageable rates. But what if that's no longer the case? If that scenario sounds far-fetched right now, so too did the collapse of oil prices just a few years ago.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Jerry Bannisterhttp://www.dal.ca/faculty/arts/history/faculty-staff/our-faculty/jerry-bannister.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-63149143307614402962016-09-16T09:49:36.714-02:302016-09-16T09:49:36.714-02:30Well as you stated in your article that Stan Marsh...Well as you stated in your article that Stan Marshall has made no real changes that affect Nalcor and it's structure, well this is kind of true, he has added a level of Executive VP's to the structure thus adding dollars to an already huge salary that is now on the rate payers and tax payers of the Province. He has left the Muskrat Falls structure in place, Gilbert Bennett who ran fibre cable before he came to Nalcor, building a mega project wasn't on his resume. He has no idea of concrete, turbines or damming. Yes the fibre is strung across Labrador at a huge cost absorbed by the project, thanks Gilbert we needed that? The project manager Paul Harrington who has been at site less than one can remember, is he still with the project sitting in his office on Torbay road or is he on vacation...Again? and under the agreement he was 'suppose' to be there at least once a week staying on top of progress (in case it goes off the rails mmmmm). The project manager for C1 (powerhouse etc) who works out of Torbay Road, YES Torbay road only flies up when Ed was going there or Stan wanted to see the mess, is afraid of any confrontation from contractors cause he might have to make a decision without his side kicks. Shouldn't the Project Manager be at site? The site manager for Muskrat Falls who sits in his office more concerned with flight schedules is afraid to come out of his office because someone might have a question that he'll need to act upon and not be able to reach someone at torbay road for an answer . As for people skills the muskrats up here have more sense in that department. The blame solely is on the shoulders of Nalcor, they never took ownership of this project. They continue to pussyfoot around with these contractors who are really running the show. It's time that the people of the province hear what's really going on with this project, no back doors Dwight (that might be a little hard for you) due to the fact that you soibhan and cathy started off on the wrong foot, a FEW white lies. and where are the salaries for all these Nalcor contractors sitting at Torbay road that were promised? Lastly, as you also stated, this project because of the miss management will be close to 14 billion when completed. Who will bail us out then Stan and Dwight? Fortis perhaps.
