A cup of tea, some sugar to sweeten it and a leader who appears to be excavating the bones of Hitler himself. Now while I have no interest in politics it is getting to the point where politics is becoming a prayer. It seems like the people involved want to blast the air waves with various aspects of communism that our leader seem to portray.<\/p>\n
America is in a state of crisis\u2026 GUESS WHAT!!! their economy is crashing and no one wants to collaborate with each other to achieve the stability and sovereignty that once ruled this great nation. They are in trillions of dollars in debt to themselves (owing various individuals and institutions, owing retirement funds including military and even Social Security), various foreign nations including China, Japan and the UK and they also owe oil exporters. China alone owns more treasuries than the US Federal reserve owns.<\/p>\n
Honorable Roosevelt Skerritt is trying to develop our country and evidently he cannot accomplish this task on our tax money alone. He has to seek help from foreign sources. Most likely he went to the American government for help and they turned him down because they can\u2019t even manage their own ridiculous spending habits. Even if he didn\u2019t consult the American Government for help (I personally wouldn\u2019t), it was a smart move because what would happen is that he would either be paying back a high interest rate or stuck in debt along with America.<\/p>\n
Picture it like this if you owe $1,000 and all of your bills and other \u2018useless necessities\u2019 come up to $900 a month, then it will take you 10 months to pay back your debt. If someone comes and asks you for a loan of $200 that puts you further into debt. You would either lend them the money or set the interest rate high so that you make back the money that is sending you further into debt (inconvenience fee). Your other obvious option would be to say no, that you are over and beyond in your means and cannot facilitate a loan.<\/p>\n
Therefore if America turned us down or our dear Prime Minister assumed that the interest rate paying back the Americans would be to high the obvious move would be to go somewhere else. This is where the Chinese, Venezuelans and Cubans come in. They give us lower interest rates and are able to give us more. It would be absolutely absurd to take a loan from FAST CASH with high interest rates when NDFD is more financially feasible. Yes it may take longer based on the resources available and the amount of people thinking JUST LIKE YOU! But in the end it is more beneficial for both parties.<\/p>\n
While I am one who believes in a fair system even if communism seems to be the battering ram trying to break down everyone else\u2019s free thinking, we are far from communism. Quiet people in truth are the people who can reserve their anger. Look at a mercury thermometer it reports the temperature normally on point, everyday regardless of whether it is hot or cold or if people complain it is too hot or not.<\/p>\n
Honorable Roosevelt Skerritt is like that heavy metal liquid, in normal temperatures he normally does his job, provide jobs, generate revenue try to keep us from ending up like Good Ol\u2019 America. IN DEBT!!! But sadly like mercury he is a bad conductor of heat, the more heat you apply to mercury the more it rises in that thermometer until it bursts through the top of the glass containment that it is refined to.<\/p>\n
Hence the recent lashing out from our Prime Minister, when he said that \u201cthe only people that going to push me out of this thing is the people of Dominica that voted for me and more importantly the people of the Vielle Case constituency.\u201d Seeing as this is a democracy and our Prime Minister is doing nothing wrong there is no reason to break the law and form a coup or take to the air waves and pry ourselves into his life on a constant basis.<\/p>\n
I will admit that I don\u2019t totally agree with everything that our PM does, no one totally agrees with everything someone says but this aggression against his every move is becoming a personal issue that does not have the country\u2019s best interest at heart. The human brain is weird in the sense that as soon as something seems threatening or not in line with what you picture in your head we riot against it, when we get our way and realize hey things aren\u2019t so much different from before we begin to regret the decision.<\/p>\n
I suggest we stop poisoning each other with the useless political debates, the useless hullabaloo about our allies, and let\u2019s go for nation building. When one government fails instead of slamming them at your next convention point out their flaws and how you would improve on it.<\/p>\n
Peace my people, peace.<\/p>\n
