Why ? How come ? What revolution unnuh fighting suh ? How long unnuh plan fi rule in Hell ?
<THE world is used to trailing behind Jamaican sprinters. The small island has won a string of world records, and may claim more at the 2012 Olympics. Its economy, however, is not so speedy: on current forecasts it will finish the year with the slowest average growth rate since 2000 in the Americas—behind even earthquake-stricken Haiti. On August 6th Jamaica will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its independence. But the festivities will be muted by frustration with its performance.
The Jamaican economy should by rights be booming. The island is just a 90-minute flight away from the United States, the world’s biggest market, with which it shares a language. It is on the shipping route to the Panama Canal, and has a spacious natural harbour in Kingston. It is politically stable, without the ethnic tensions that have riven other Caribbean nations.......
However, the country’s economy was stagnant long before the credit crunch. In real terms Jamaicans are no richer today than they were in the early 1970s. And most of the island’s enduring problems, like its public finances, are HOME-MADE...
Jamaica has run fiscal deficits in 44 of its 50 years of independence.>
The rise of 'socialism' in 1972 and the perversion of the PNP under Michael Manley has fvcked up this country royally... you have some likkle UWI social studies rebels without a cause creep innah di ting and still deh deh a wreak havoc..
Without our Athletes and our Music it would have to qualify as the biggest failure in the Western Hemisphere in the last 40 years..
We kotch up right under Babylon.. unique port facilities, former British Colony.. Natural Beauty abounds...has there even been a country given so much and produced so little ??
Den yuh have some embarassed former card holders come on yah wid dem JLPNP rhetoric ah try cover up and obfuscate the crime scene..
