Open letter to the powers that be

Dear Drs. Jagdeo, Ashni Singh, Ministers Manickchand and Westford or to whom its may concern, 

     Today is the 9th Day in the month of June and marks almost three weeks since I last received my salary. I must say thank you so much for the 5% increase it gives me a sense of security I have never had before 1992. 

These days I can afford so much more than my family use to as $37,000 has given me immense spending power. I haven’t been able to put aside money for my own home as yet but I know I will live that dream in the near future.
Right now, me and my child mother are subletting a small apartment with her mother but I would like to share with you my expenses to inform your decision making.

Today I have my last thousand dollar and I know that it will take me to work and back until you pay us next week. 

When I collect my salary here is a list of my expenses:

 Electricity – $9789 (a must pay)

 Market (one week supply)

 Rice, not the wholesome kind- $780

2 pounds sugar                        - $160

Salt                                          - $100

Greens and other essentials     - $7000

1 chicken                                  -$ 980

Salt fish                                    -$600

Milk                                          -$1570

 That is almost $20000.

I haven’t put aside money for my travel to work, my child’s daily school expenses nor have I catered for his meals. But I have a solid $17000 left to last me for the rest of the month. This is what I will use to spend to top up the groceries from time to time.

As for the dream of a house, I started to save $100 a month, mostly the coins and fine change I am left with.

I do hope this letter finds each of your well as I can imagine you working hard to make all our dreams come through.

AFC is Wrong on Jagdeo's trippps

The AFC is totally out of whack in its assessment of the cost of Jagdeo's tripps overseas. We aree going to analyze the cost benefit of these trips as follows:

According to the AFC release the trippps' cost are accumulated at $1Billion.

Let is add 10% interest over avg 2-and-a-half yrs, that brings us to 1.25billion.
Lets add 10% opportunity cost (money usable elsewhere)and 500% loss (being out of office and not assenting to laws or other work in a timely fashion.

Total = $7 BILLION

Now, lets add his gains on the trips like per diem (if any), salary received during this time, the excess staff accompanying his (their salaries etc), total now is approx $10 billion.

How much did he TRY to write off this last trip? Was it 50mil USD? That is approx $10billion G$....

Some further questions:
1) Who pays for the private sector and personal friends that accompany Jagdeo on his trips? This latest trip to Russia included the Queens Atlantic owner.
2) Who approves the persons that accompany jagdeo?
3) Who costs the private accomplishment of these individuals on these tripps?

More to come later.
