Does the date December 1st have any significance? Could this be the "old" one?

I read that it's the draft for Iraq's 2011 Budget and it states that the budget would be implemented and published in the official gazette on January 1, 2011. I guess there is always a possibility but the parliament still has to approve it and who knows if they can do that in 1 day? Like I said, there is always a possibility. the link to that is http://articlesofinterest-kelley.blogspot.com/2010/12/to-be-posted-in-official-gazette-jan_30.html

"Draft". Maybe all they have to do is post a draft, then put in the healthcare reform in the official budget, and pass it without the citizens knowing what's REALLY in the budget law or any other law! Just funnin'

come on no government would ever do that.... oh wait... I guess they could take a page out of O's play book and do that if they wanted

My question is how do they post a budget - get it approved for posting 1/1/11 if Parliament is on vacation til the 10th? Parliament is on vacation right now corrrect?

I read it...it says the budget is to be implemented 1/1/11 it does not specify the date it will be posted in the gazette. It also says that Iraq has to strike deals with Saudi Arabia and other countries for debt repayment as a condition of the Paris Club Agreement for which payments begin 2011 through 2028. The deal with Saudi just happened and I believe they worked something out with Kuwait as well.

Basically, it says the draft budget - AS AMENDED (they can can always draft ammendments throughout the year) will be published in the gazette and goes effective 1/1/11. Parliament does not have to be in session for it to go into effect. It sounds to me like Parliament is on vacation because the budget is done - ammendments or revisions can occur next year.

Shabbs said the revaluation of the dinar including the removal of three zeros shall require "much field work" - and will occur in 2011 - I think if I had read this damn thing back in May I would not have fell for all this darn speculation the last few months - he said 2011 revalue - its been right in front of our eyes for MONTHS

I hope we are but days away!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

After doing the math on this budget I don't see where this budget has anything to do with the RV.
