What Gov’t Needs To Do For Economy

These actors need Oscars. Clearly, this falls well within the expectations of reading a poem. It was a recitation. After that it was curtains. The prescriptions were hardly internally consistent. Sometimes with a beautiful voice we sing in French. Yet we don't know one hell what the words mean. You just witnessed another classic example. Written uncritically by the mandarin, the reader read beautifully. But. that sort of nonsense does not fly anymore. You even proved it to yourself. Tired of the charades? Then demand substance.

Thanks for your insight Mr. Lang; but Kenny's knows damn well what needs to be done. Kenny, though, is not interested in doing what is right. He is much too preoccupied with the praises/glorification of his party faithful(s). Of course for these hacks, the more lavish the supper the louder their singing.

Super or crumbs? That does not make them self-sufficient. That is why they have to fawn, beg, and in perverse orgasmic unity scream "en rouge"!

What a fake!
Everybody wants to be a Prime Minister. Every outside poltical party wants to run the affairs of this country. Look around the region. Is Saint Lucia the only country going through tough fiscal period? Most regional governments have taken the bull by the horn and exercised hash and prudent measures. St. Lucia is perhaps the only country threading cautiously to avoid the hash reality. Our people need to understand that there is no more green gold to bail us out of the pressures in today's market place. The competitiveness in the tourist industry comes with a price tag. So it is, what it is and therefore the State of our country cannot be independant from the State of the region.
Upon examination, the government of today is being fiscally responsible in its budget addresses.

What the hell does the region provide us again? Drug lords and their drug trades? All we have is sun, sea water and sand. These islands and Guyana are selling basically the same things at different prices. If all the country bookies we voted for in the past had any sense and foresight they would have prepared us for future that is better than this. Compton only saw a cutlass and banana tree in our future. Kenny now only sees the cutting of grass, and waiting on tourists, with aprons and a cap as our future. Both have the same roots, the same aims, and the same limited vision. Neither can see past their own freaking noses. L'un pas vaux l'autre!

live frugal
live within your means
eat and buy local products
a pot of green pigeon peas, green bananas, spinach, okra in a delectable broth of whole local bone fish (slow low heat cook) is far richer and nutritious, than any of your high sodium fast fry food outlet offerings and way cheaper per person serving to boot.

A revised health nutrition fitness activities of daily living Home Economics curriculum Matrix is needed -at very early stages of development.

I recall overhearing a conversation between a French father and adolescent son at the curvilinear avant garde TWA terminal at JFK-

The son was admiring a very large mural ad for Cadillac saying "I will drive a Cadillac when I grow up"

The father in very cool tenor voice explained to his son why he WILL drive a Peugot instead- and it was not about gas mileage-

That was my very first field understanding of the impact of balance of trade on a national economy- Studying elementary French in St. Lucia and the clear simple explanations within the father son conversation made it possible.
sense
This editorial makes lots of sense both common and academic.
