Yes Mr Springer there are sharks around the Prime Minister and so you'd like to join them. Of course you are clearly taking sides, the government of course. I think the P.M making such a mistake should step down,this is too costly a mistake to make and since he cannot be trusted again, don't you think Mr Springer we the workers have lost all trust in him?

There is no difference in your stated belief that the Government can pay 4% and the statement of the government spokesman that is 3%or nothing. What evidence do you have that the Government can pay 4%? Trained arbitrators do not make such irresponsible statements. You make matters worse to call for interest payments on the balance of the money because this would end up being more costly for the taxpayer than the 7.5% the unions are asking for. The Government has already offered to pay the balance,retroactively. How can you say King is repsonsible for the impasse and in the same breath say he negotiated in good faith? There is such a thing as revenue performance, Mr. Springer. When the PM OK'd the 14.5% increase he had no way of knowing how bad the global economic crisis would be and how quickly it would worsen. And who would be the sharks around the PM who would have influenced his thinking in this impasse? By the way is there anything the Taiwanese can do to help the Government resolve this matter?

Everyday I am reading of how things are hard for the average person over in Taiwan. These people are eating their rear.

No one should encourage Taiwan to give King money in order to pay the teachers. If thah happen I honestly believe that the people of Taiwan should express their outrage against their government.

The original comment about Taiwan seemed mischievous. This is one the few articles tha springer has written with no mention of Taiwan.
