"Lessons Learned from Frugal Governments
Countries with biggest surplus as part of GDP exhibit positive signs that their governments are taking the appropriate measures to prudently use the revenues they have earned. After forming plans that are needed to further and sustain a country, such governments are better enabled to invest in industrial advancements as well as the most recent healthcare technologies. With thriving economies, Denmark, Qatar, and other nations with budget surpluses have the ability to make desirable economic choices that don’t force them into the adverse situations that often result from being indebted to other countries. The actions of these countries with healthy budget surpluses can serve as models and inspiration for those nations struggling with debt. With a proper plan and the determination to actually proceed on the guidelines of proposed budgeting arrangements, any country can become more financially secure."

"The Ugly
The worst outcome would be for the deficit to get so bad that the government chooses to default on debt payments (which could also lead to some other currency, or a basket of currencies, replacing the dollar as the vehicle and reserve currency). , it could lead to high interest rates as foreigners refuse to lend to us for fear we'll inflate the obligation away when it comes due, and the government could still choose to default if it is the least costly option among bad alternatives. Thus, it needs to be mentioned as a possibility."

election is like taking a nice hot bath. Even the preparation is part of the process. Then you get to vote and leave the booth feeling confident and relaxed knowing for sure you have done the right. Then you take a good look as the dirty water swirls and gurgles as it goes down. The dirty politics and the unfulfilled promises of this season is gone, hopefully forever. But in another five years you will be filling the tub with steaming hot water. But maybe this time you may want to change the soap.

Basically wat Perry Chrisite is saying is that dey put the VAT money in the public purse with the rest a we money dem. And so when dey open the bag to take out the VAT money it bounce out with some of da otta money wat was in dere.and dey couldn't a find it no more. And den dey add some a da VAt money to the national debt and increase dat by two billion dollars. But any way dey ger keep looking fer a gooder excuse to xplain ha yinna vat money dem get spent. Cause ainn nobody t'ief nottin.

The greatest danger is to the people who don't realize they are inhaling toxic fumes or even soot. The stuff comes down at night and settles over houses far away from the dump. And persons inhale it all night without even realizing it. Then the soot covers the furniture and surfaces all over the home. Then persons develop coughs. Eyes are dry and irritated. A solution has to be found.

Is this a trend? India'a government has now moved to shut down hundreds of slaughter houses in that country. The government claims the slaughterhouse are killing cows that are sacred in India but the Muslims in a population of over 200 million claims the move is a religious one. Many restaurants and meat shops in India has had to close because there is no meat to sell. So what will happen to the price/supply of beef in the near future? Will meat eaters be forced to change their diets?

Seen at least four accidents involving police vehicles over the past two weeks. Including one of those black Ford SUV . And you hear the sirens going all day from as early as 6 in the morning.

Even companies can be crushed overnight. For example Samsung took a big hit when the batteries on its Note 7 caused it loses of over $4 billion. The battery was made externally and the situation not only cost Samsung its greatest losses ever, but it led to rivals I/Phone having one of its best two quarters ever. Then the heir to Samsung was arrested and is still being held on bribery charges. And while Samsung will release its Note 8 on Wednesday selling at a price of $800, a number of smaller phone companies have entered the market selling phones with many of the I/Phone and Samsung features for under $200.

It is estimated that it will cost the U.K. 62 billion to GET OUt the EU. And after all the losses from cancelled contracts and lost revenue, the U.K. Can be among the list of failed states. While local leaders of the country are generally blamed for a failed nation, many of the forces causing a nation to fail are external. Much is caused by those who control the interest rates and manipulate the money supply or even 'regulate' the trade of a country. For example in the Bahamas the high rate of borrowing has put a lot of pressure on government revenues. Even to the point that money is spent before it is taken in. The Bahamian economy has not only remained for nine years, but it has contracted in several years causing even more financial pressure. And whenever there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, a travel advisory is issued or some financial downgrade causing even more problems. Is this coincidental? Right now Bahamians are virtually working to service their debt (financial slaves). And this is happening to many countries around the world. Venezuela , which was a large oil producer and refinery was to the point that it could no longer supply food and medicine to its people. Its currency became valueless overnight and even persons with money could not trade. In India the currency is being recalled and replaced but citizens are wary to exchange the currency because they don't trust the government. In Brazil the Olympics was a near flop because of travel advisories to that country due to the Zika virus. Now there is a health advisory on beef and other meat products that is threatening to cripple that country's meat industry and sink its economy overnight. China was able to starve off a recession in that country by rebuilding its infrastructure and exporting workers after a great decrease in demand for its products. A decline that saw the prices of flat screen the, smart phones and other consumer products cut by nearly half and even more. Even hall mark businesses in the USA are not being spared Why are the economies of the world falling like dominoes and who or 'what' is really behind it?

Sounds like bull$hit all over...made up
1. Name one Independent candidate expected to win his/her seat with maybe the exception of Loretta Butler-Turner.
2. Name one DNA candidate expected to win his/her seat.
3. Name one DNA candidate expected at least 1/3 of the votes.
4. Most polls indicate the PLP and FNM are running heads to heads as far as expected seats are concerned, with no other perty expected to win *any* seat.

They say Facebook has face recognition that can identify you even before you sign in. Not only that but Facebook's software can identify anyone you have take a photo with and recommend them to add to your friends list, among other things. Almost any smart phone can identify your location. Along with other biometric technologies, including finger print recognition,and software which can not only tell if a person has already voted, but all the specifics as to when where they voted. So it is not the absence of technology that voter fraud happens. Maybe some don't want to close out all the possibilities of it happening and dipping your thumb in the sinister looking blue ink is a comfort only to a fool. Some say "if voting really mattered, they would not allow us to do it." So do it anyway.
