Our AusteriTea Party is just a regional branch office in the insane network.
Jamaica teeters on an economic precipice after years of stagnation
Meanwhile, it's pretty much the same story across the whole Caribbean.

Jamaica teeters on an economic precipice after years of stagnation
"Virtually every Jamaican is feeling the impact of a protracted economic stagnation, now exacerbated by the austerity mandated by an International Monetary Fund bailout signed earlier this year."
“To ensure Jamaica’s compliance the IMF has required that most of the austerity measures and economic reforms be implemented almost immediately. ... 'Given the scale of the problem and the history of programmes that went off-track establishing credibility is paramount, and for this reason the programme is very front-loaded,' said Gian Maria Milesi-Ferretti, a senior IMF official."

The scale of fiat stupidity is truly mind boggling.

Yet, when I say let's euthanize banking, people scoff.
Or is the theory: "If it lasts until I die, the money system is good enough?"
Don't love your children and grand-children?
I don't agree with the sign the lady carries.
The sign reads: "One day the poor will have nothing left to eat but the reach...". The suggestion being that we'll have to eat the rich.
