ole onions if what you are saying about the people shouting why then would they be a swell of support for the man who the BLP says inflict the pain. by any sound reasoning he should have been driven off the face of the earth let alone be shown as being popular by any stretch of ones imagination. the fact is that you BLP fowls always trying to drive home your points through propaganda but when confronted on a level playimg field wunna run for cover here you come in wid that stupid response .

A line of attack the Dems could use in next year’s campaign is Owen Arthur’s fear of Chris Sinckler.
Arthur is twisting the truth when he keeps saying he did not plan to to become Opposition leader a second time.
If David Thompson was alive Owen Arthur would have retired from politics at the end on this term.
He returned and bushwhacked Mia because he felt he could topple Stuart.
To topple Stuart though he must go thru Sinckler and here’s where it gets tricky because Sinckler far from fearing his reputation does wash him in verbal licks whenever he enters Parliament .
The end result is that Owen plays truant and does not go to Parliament hence defrauding the taxpayers.
He is a fibber and now proven to be a coward.
He fears Sinckler and no mealy mouth contorted liguistics by onion his BLP running yard chickens can change that fact!

“To topple Stuart though he must go thru Sinckler and here’s where it gets tricky because Sinckler far from fearing his reputation does wash him in verbal licks whenever he enters Parliament”…………..

You all are real proud of this type of behaviour exhibited by Chris Sinckler every time he is in Parliament, eh?
Is this the level to which our politics has sunk?
Is washing someone in verbal licks according to you, acceptable conduct in our esteem House of Parliament?

He must keep it up. What you all dont know is that the only persons that agrees with this nasty behaviour is the DLP yardfowls. And you then would dare to criticise the youth on the block.

You can ridicule Owen Arthur all you want. But what I can say is that he is yet alive, ESAF and all.

@ David
How apt of you to provide this Bio of Mr. Stable….at this time…”just remember lightning does not strike the same place twice”..(EconBdos)….lol

guys all worked up this morning. look OSA tell the people of ST KITTS want to go to heaven you must first die. Yet he bought hear telling the people they could enjoy all the luxury of a first rate country without giving back any thing. OSA is a Hypocrite of voluminous proportion

@Onions

Where has Mascoll ever worked except the Central Bank of Barbados. Mascoll is a Central Banker!

@Onions

The point of posting the bios is to show that they all come from backgrounds linked to Central Bank, University and Accounting. They are all cut from the same cloth.

@Obions

You seem to have forgotten that Boyce has a first class honours degree in economics, Anyway part of the reason the world finds itself in the doodoo is because of well trained economists.

“Chris sinckler a “Cut above the rest” Chris has done the DLP proud and we the stalwarts would reward him for it.”
to be honest, i do not know why i am engaging you but tell me one thing, not two, one policy that Mr Sinckler has proposed or enunciated which has moved the economy and country forward? except for a heavy dose in taxation.

What Chris n Jasper were practicing was not Economic based but like the Artful Dodger…the science of trickery…..skimming off from the top-pery..BNOC…$100 Million from the coffers of unsuspecting motorist….while Jasper siphon off the NIS Funds as see fit unconditionally and accountable to none….some call it highway robbery. You don’t need no degree to do that hence….the beating of chest. The charade they hope to continue hopefully undiscovered by, like some (JM report)..but things don’t always go the way we want it ..as God is not sleeping.

In the above thread the person wrote: “By taking so much money out of the economy in the forms of increased taxation and surcharge on fuel, the money supply has decreased . The money multiplier effect has thereby waned as a result, and there are less dollars to be circulated and personal savings are being withdrawn from the banks. For those so interested….. money creation is the process by which the money supply of a country is changed.”

Did the person really mean money supply, or money circulation, has decreased??

Some time ago the PDC usd to believe in that bogus thing called the money multiplier effect. But thank goodness we no longer believe in such. There is really no such thing as a money multiplier effect. For what is money really being multiplied by, we would love to ask the person who wrote the missive and prefers to hide?? Nothing really. So there is no resultant effect anywhere any time. Absolutely none!! Such is the bogusness and fictitiousness and falseness of this particular joke concept within this ramshackled economics discipline.

Economics HAS NEVER, IS NEVER and WILL NEVER be a science!!

But the person is right that less dollars are in circulation as a result of increased TAXATION and the so-called Excise TAX on fuel in Barbados ( there is one and only one form of TAXATION – Direct Income Taxation, okay)

And, it is enitrely scandalous, or comical, for any one to believe that money is created by any other means other than by its being shaped out of the relevant material, then digitizing it and so on, and it therefore being given by its makers the characteristics that all money ought have. What a dearth of philosophy that has been exhibited in the contribution.

So, the so-called money supply does NOT EVER change other than by it being actually changed physically in various ways.

Economics – Science or Art?
By Tejvan Pettinger on September 11, 2009 in economics

Economics combines elements of both science and art.

Economists try to develop analytical mathematical models which seek to explain economic behaviour in a way that can be theoretically proved.

For example working out the elasticity of demand through using calculus.

In macro economic models there are many models which seek to explain macro variables such as inflation, growth and unemployment.

Yet, when applied to the real world these models have significant limitations which can make them of limited value.

For example, much of economic theory rests on an assumption of rational behaviour by consumers. Especially in classical economics, economic theory is derived from a belief that consumers and firms will rationally pursue utility maximising decisions. Yet, in practice human nature is much more complex. Behavioural economics tries to understand these human factors much more – but, this involves many normative / subjective opinions.

In the past few decades the efficient market hypothesis took the assumption, asset prices would be correctly priced – given available information.

Yet, recent events suggest these neat theories have severe limitations in the real world.

Never said it was…..the article was to disprove PDC claim that economic could never be a science.Let me make my position clear as some seem to have mis read..”it is a hybrid of both.”

Economics cannot cannot be an exact sicience like natural science and there fore the out put can predicted with any accuracy like in the natural sicence.

Onions
You cannot have it both ways.
The vat was raised to 17.5%
Why was it raised Mr. Onions?
To keep doing what St Lucia cannot do onions.

Were there any other countries in the world which had to increase taxes to meet revenue targets or was IT ONLY THIS LITTLE NON RESOURCE utopia?
What was the right time between 2004- 2007? But you genius leader never made a hard decision in his 14 years.

Remember Anthony Wood said the cabinet had agree to a rise in bus fares. The call program went ballistic on the government. Owen step in like a savior to the poor man and said no bus fares will go up under his leadership.

I had to jump back on this thread…cuz the rest to soft line for the politico HARDLINER……Don Vincent Onions…Who here to test..cuz Clone still sleeping ?……bring it on …

You can ran but you can’t hide NO MORE CORRUPTION!

VIDEO…..”forms a company and uses money ($5 million) for purposes other than intended.”..” the Magistrate Court “…”You talk about accountability “…” Let him deal wdi Dat “….” I gone “……all from GEESE mouth…ALL coming back like a boomerang come Elections Campaign 2012…GEESE….your words..now you will look most silly….lol OVERKILL at its best…

I understand that there are numerous “big-shots” in this country who owe millions of dollars collectively, to the government for non-payment of water and property taxes, but supports one or the other party or both, therefore governments hands are tied, but the little man who only owe a small amount and genuingly cannot pay will have their water disconnected are their property sold, For government to make up the short fall, they then increase the taxes, the man that does not pay continues not to pay but the man who can hardly pay or pay at all will lose everything.

What would be really interesting to know is how much of that $120 Million in bounced VAT cheques disclosed to the public in January 2012…were ACTUALLY COLLECTED…..This if I remember created a storm at that time with fingers pointing to recon- car dealers….and those that closed a company only to be permitted to form another under another name although owing Govt astronomical amount in Vat….Tell us Mr. MOF….what has become of there culprits ?Was anybody prosecuted …the newspapers never showed a fellow being hauled before the Magistrates ? Or were these BIG FISH, big enough to pelt off the net with a phone call ?
