Trust deficit: Gov’t, IMF and Haiti

Apr 02, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Call me Thomas if you wish, but on this Easter Sunday, what is being resurrected for me is a deep distrust for those who are elected and appointed to govern us.
Despite being full of 'knowledge' based on blind faith that Jesus is coming again as a thief in the night, I am worried that he might arrive before the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is reached. After all, there have been many announcements which lulled us into a false sense of hope.
Like all patriotic Jamaicans, I want to believe in Dr Peter Phillips, and I would even hand over the 30 pieces of silver that I have discovered lying around somewhere in someone's clenched fist, because the Budget needs every cent it can find to make it balance.
