Barbados now finds itself smack in the middle of a perilous fiscal crisis, which was triggered and manufactured by Dems for Dems and all because of some flawed fatted calf doctrine, which was intended to benefit Dems and DLP supporters.  It backfired and the entire country is now being harass to make sacrifices for the Dems recklessness.

This failed-DLP-Government appears to be making the layoff of the thousands it engaged in the Public Service, during a recession (some even during the recent general election but all by stealth) as dramatic and as much a public spectacle, as its promise not to lay them off – once they had voted for the DLP but that’s really not it at all. It is a distraction.

People who are allergic to thinking for themselves will incorrectly conclude that the Government is showing compassion and social care but that will be yet another costly error. This is simply a deliberately orchestrated and carefully calculated and facilitated plot, to prolonged access to the same fatted calf, which was slaughtered for DEM, in the first place. More sucking on the nipples also means more dues for the union but more debt for the country and even more sacrifice for even those who don’t like beef. The DLP is simply tricking the country yet again but its job is being made easy. Maybe Bajans like it so!

But while the country is being easily distracted with froth, as usual, the DLP is using the occasion to give its people (for whom the fatted calf was slaughtered in the first place) an extension and more time to feed and suck even harder on the already sore nipples. The country does not even realise that being distracted – will cost taxpayers a further $14m up to the end of this month of January – to pay the same dems that the dems engaged, as part of the Dems fatted calf doctrine. So the dems win, with the union’s assistance and the taxpayers foot the bill, for yet another $14 million.

But bloating the Public Service of Barbados with such and alarming an unjustifiable number of people for no sensible purpose but simply to satisfy some fatted calf doctrine and silly belief that the resources of Barbados should be shared among DEMS, is such a reckless act, that it ought to be severely punished as a crime against the society.

In his August budget, the Minister of Finance admitted that the DLP is borrowing $14 million every month to pay 7,000 casual workers. Up to this point, both the DLP and local trade unions have remained tight-lip about how many dems the DLP has engaged in the Public Service of Barbados, since January 15th 2008. Even more vulgar, this country is being asked to swallow, that in a day of technology – a ‘Ministry of the Civil Service,’ cannot tell you off-hand – the total number or the exact starting date of every persons engaged in the Public Service of Barbados, since January 15th 2008. What new low standards! How did it come to this?

Is this a gimmick to allow the DLP and the Unions to: now sit and hand-pick those not considered worthy for a serving of the fatted calf and, to rewrite industrial relations best practices, as it relates to last-in, first-out – in order to validate and advance the same DLP’s Fatted Calf Doctrine, which caused this mess in the first place? What happens when this new industrial relations example is adapted and followed by the Private Sector?

The local media too – do not think it important enough, to demand an answer, as regards how many people have been engaged in the Public Service of Barbados since January 15th 2008 – despite Government’s admission of increasing the national debt by $14m monthly, to facilitate its flawed fatted calf philosophy and in circumstances where that amount – ONLY relates to casual employment expenditure within the Public Service and does not include: Constituency Councils, Free Bus Rides, Political Football or Summer Camps.

While all this drama is taking place in Barbados, the country allows itself to be distracted with PURE FROATH and gossip! But we like it so! I thought this was a time for serious people; serious policies and serious politics but I was wrong! In the meantime, the country sinks further! All that is required now is for the DLP to hold a FETE but we like it so!
