And while the PM kept pounding the PSU for not being ready to - in his view - make a sacrifice, the union can legitimately ask, looking at what could be a slow recovery for government finances, would it even be a one time sacrifice?:

"What guarantee if any at all can be given to the Public Service Union and their members that this is perhaps a one time sacrifice that is being asked to be made during these difficult challenging times?"
Rt. Hon. Prime Minister
"The only guarantee is the one I have given, that I will borrow until I can borrow no more. But everybody must realize that beyond that there can be no absolutely fail safe on all terrible guarantee. The Central Bank will not be able to print money until kingdom come. If there comes a time when there is simply no more money, then we'll have to examine the circumstances then. I will tell you that I do not see that happening at all at all at all."
The Prime Minister's press conference this morning was from his Belize City office and it lasted more than two hours.
