CUT US SOME SLACK MR. SINCLAIR
Submitted by Old Onions Bag
People already hollaring for murder from these draconian taxes, yet it ain’t even Budget Day.
How much longer can we continue this way Mr. Sinckler? Better believe we need to come up for air now. People all over Barbados want some reprieve. How much longer can they take these draconian measures and not fall through the social net? We need relief and we need it like yesterday.
What is the sense of being able to boast of cutting the deficit in half and the country’s people are suffering?
You are on video boasting in Parliament of the tough times our generation has been through and of how it makes for character. Yes sir Mr. Minister we agree, but are you not forgetting… back in those days you could beg for a breadfruit….a turnover was for 5c….you could eat and sleep at the neighbour and vice versa. Times have changed Mr.Minister … they have become harder. What could play in those days, won’t cut it today.
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effect has thereby waned as a result, and there are less dollars to be circulated and personal savings are being withdrawn from the banks.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. There are two principal stages of money creation. First, a central bank introduces new money into the economy termed expansionary monetary policy…. by purchasing financial assets or lending money to financial institutions. Secondly, the new money introduced by the central bank is multiplied by commercial banks through fractional reserve banking; this expands the amount of broad money (i.e. cash plus demand deposits) in the economy so that it is a multiple (known as the money multiplier) of the amount originally created by the central bank.
Mr.Sinckler by your government’s mid-term fiscal policies, you all have successfully choked up the country’s monetary plumbing real good. The system needs an enema, and real fast….to release some frustrations and anxieties the hard working and unemployed people are left to bear.
Come Budget Day, we need A GOOD RELEASE…”something proper”…for some of us are daily riding the “Brumswick Schooner”…and that is no lie.

It is all about protecting the peg of the Barbados dollar to the US$. In the last 5 years there has been a swing of about 30% upwards in the value of the Barbados dollar making most imports substantially less expensive. It also has the opposite effect of making our major export. tourism. 30% more expensive to most purchasers thereby reducing the number of tourists coming to Barbados as they chose other locations with more favourable currency relationships such as Brazil that has seen about a 80% decline in their currency during the same time period.
If the Government of Barbados does not have FX income from tourists then it has to reduce the amount of spend by the country on FX for imports. It does so by reducing the amount of money people have in their pockets to spend. Unfortunately the monetary policy effects the people with less disposable income the most.

As I have mentioned in a previous contribution, talk “on the ground” is that many Barbadians are fed up with this present DLP administration and are waiting, (and impatiently so), until the next general elections to vote them out. However, Bajans are known to keep noise for a few days, after which everything quiets down allowing the status quo to remain the same.
I’m sure if the economy recovers before the 2018 elections, this administration’s budgetary policies will be filled with all types of benevolent proposals in an effort to woo voters and regain favour. Those of us, who understand better, will know that such proposals will not be feasible for the island so soon after an economic recovery.
Obviously, if the parliamentarians are able to convince the electorate they are being rewarded for the sacrifices made during the austerity period, the DLP will win the election by a landslide.
Last Sunday, I was in the company of some older gentlemen who are supporters of the DLP, and they were finding every reason or excuse possible, to justify Michael Carrington’s with-holding Griffiths funds, even suggesting such cases take years to conclude because lawyers from foreign jurisdictions were involved in the litigation and the BLP orchestrated the civil suit in an attempt to embarrass Carrington.
If Barbados experiences some semblance of economic recovery, these “die hard” supporters will be out and about, in similar manner, telling all and sundry that their party’s policies have worked, while trying to convince the electorate to re-elect the DLP.
These are some of the realities of politics in Barbados.

“What cultural indifference what… bare stupidity that what…when people of darker complexions or beliefs can see it fit to delinate another people\or complexions, all in the interest of genocide\ or alienation. Downright hatred and selfish profiteering by man. Nuttin else….”
Onions, only a recent as yesterday morning, a female friend of mine, who happens to of a clearer complexion, was telling a guy of similar complexion that they have “pretty” skin. She showed him some photos of her two grand children and a daughter who have similar complexions, whom she went on to describe as being beautiful.
I observed that she did not have one photo of the 2 grand children’s mother, whose skin is of a darker complexion.
This is the typical attitude of “fair skinned” people…… they refuse to accept they are Negroes, but try to identify themselves as being “red” or “white, as well as being superior to people of darker complexion.
Segregation may be described as “the policy or practice of separating people of different races, classes, or ethnic groups, as in schools, housing, and public or commercial facilities, especially as a form of discrimination.”
We talk about racial segregation in Barbados, but from my experiences, segregation is practiced among Black people more than any other race in Barbados.
For example, Negroes laugh at other Negroes who may be of a darker complexion, often describing them by pejorative terms or nick-names such as “dark man/woman”, “black boy/girl”, “blackie”, or “navy blue boys”.
However, when describing their fairer skinned counterparts by names such as “red man/woman”, it is done so with a sense of respect and accepted in a similar manner.
Then people are categorized by those who have knotty or curly hair; school attended [older or newer secondary schools or Harrison’s or Queen’s College and the other schools]; types of job, car, house; etc.
Then we complain about the attitudes of the Arabs, East Indians and white living here.

Mia’s decision to file a no-confidence motion against Carrington at this time speaks volumes of her ability to think critically. Before she and the rest of her motley crew decided to walk out parliament and stay out whenever Carrington is in the Chair, she should have considered the consequences of doing so. One consequence is that she now looks like a fool for doing last what she should have done first.
If the no-confidence is debated, no matter the outcome of the vote, it will be a victory for the Opposition and the people of Barbados. All right thinking people in this country believe that Carrington has brought the office of Speaker into disrepute. And that being the case, he should not wait to be pushed.
The members on the Government side have everything to lose if they support Carrington by their words in debate or worse yet by their votes at the end of the debate. They would be in danger of allowing them to be measured by the same yardstick that is being applied to Carrington. Whether or not Carrington intended to permanently deprive Griffiths of his money, the laymen among us still consider him to be a crook. We laymen do not consider legal definitions when reasoning out Carrington’s guilt or innocence. If his colleagues vote against the motion of no-confidence, the laymen among us would see that vote as saying that they would do the same thing as he did.
It the members on the Government side want to squander what goodwill still exists for them among the electorate then they would support the Speaker.
The Government’s best bet is to convince Carrington to demit the office of Speaker and take someone from Cabinet to fill that post. The best choice would be Dennis Kellman. It would prevent him from rising to speak on every issue before the House and spewing forth his unintelligible mouthings.

“Minister of Agriculture Dr David Estwick has again written to the Prime Minister, this time complaining that his colleague Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler is behaving as though he is the Cabinet.”
“In a letter dated February 27 addressed to Prime Minister Freundel Stuart, Estwick charged that officials of the Ministry of Finance, on Sinckler’s instructions, bypassed his office and issued instructions to the general manager of the Barbados Agricultural Management Company (BAMC) that were not in keeping with Cabinet decisions.”

On the contrary, Miller, I’m not one to fall for anything Estwick does or says. He has proven time and time again he’s just a “blow hard”.
You can guarantee that, during the estimates debate, this same Estwick will get up in parliament, endorse the comments of Sinckler, justify and support the estimates. This is the type “sanctimonious hypocrisy” Stuart was referring to.

Onions, Fractured mentioning ‘bout “What a shame”, but I got a few more to add:
• The retrenched government employee, including those from Transport Board, National Housing and Drainage Unit, had to wait almost 9 months before being paid severance.
• The DEMs are the first ones to break the law under the new employment rights bills, by making the above mentioned former employees wait more than the stipulated 3 months before being paid severance.
• NCC not adhering to the “last in, first out” criteria to retrench NCC employees, which resulted in individuals from Denis Lowe’s constituency, who were hired prior to the 2013 general elections, remaining employed.
• Almost 1 year has passed and the former NCC and Beautify Barbados employees are yet to receive severance.
• The PM recommending the former NCC employee fiasco to a non-functioning employee rights tribunal.
• Richard Byer charging the Caves of Barbados $766.855 to give a legal opinion on a loan contract; a similar service that was provided by another lawyer for $17,000.
• Constant confusion with Dr. Estwick.
• An inept Minister of Finance, who got on radio a few weeks ago to say there was no “vote buying”, when he was one of the chief culprits to engage in the activity.
• Donville Inniss talking shiite every weekend.
• The $3.333M fraudulent invoice.
All this shiite gine on and not a word from Stuart.
Now that is a SHAME.

Did anyone notice the “partisan rhetoric” from Onions has toned down significantly. Its almost like its a different person. But as I have said from the get-go on this site and elsewhere the increase in taxes was counter productive and resulted in a net loss of tax revenues along with losses of jobs causing a downward spiral in the economy. I am not convinced any one there knows what they are doing. I think Sinckler will likely lose his seat in the next election as he is one of the most hated men in Barbados… for good reason. He continues to fatten his bank account and waistline while ordinary Bajans struggle.
On another matter I have been hearing this silliness now coming from the mouth of the increasingly arrogant PM (previously heard from Owen Arthur) criticizing Bajans for buying a wall house and/or owning a car. Should we not strive to own assets to care for ourselves and our children? Should we leave that to the political class exclusively? Enquiring minds want to know. Perhaps AC can answer??

Even the Plantation owners during the time of slavery, provided their slaves with ‘wall houses”. Some of which are still standing and very much in use.
Talk about kicking down the ladder. These bastards have pots of boiling oil poised above.

Ronald Jones has backed up his Get more children appeal, with a Lower the voting age to 16 suggestion. He intends to turn this country into a welfare state where young mothers with a string of children and no jobs, will be queuing up outside his constituency office begging for hand outs,which will ensure that he stays in office for a long time,as no one with any experience in life, will ever honestly cast a vote for Ronald Jones.
