		<description><![CDATA[Acording to the latest whistle blowers names unknown may  I ask  is that 2.5% increase over the existing 10%?

  The problem  as  it is  now , if you did not get a raise of 10 %   like many  others did you are ok. ! but you should realize  That inflation did no go away  the cost of living for everyone went up.

 The seniors buying power of their income  dropped by 10 %  simply called  devaluation plus inflation  you are looking a 20 %  or the hated word &quot; devaluation of the national  dollar.&quot;

 Both words mean the same thing .

  PENSIONES ARE FIXED INCOME  2.4% 

  That devaluation does incredible damage to our countries economy and that went over many peoples heads, to prove the point because nothing was done about it. there were no controls in place .
  Another way of looking at it devaluation never goes away .

    Personaly  I knew devaluation was gouing to hit Bermuda as i knew  it was just a matter of time.
  Are we betty off because of it. NOT  A CHANCE  !
   If you  did receive a 10 % increase in you income  from you companies  profits YES  then some body in increased profits  where you work to balance the books   and you payed more for your bread  and butter .
   Carering to inflation  brough the so called  your economy back  to square one for some but not all.

  The pensioners are  always the less fortunate with the promise or 2.4 % for seniors pensioners  in  October 24 why the delay  you may ask ?  that is an insult !
 
 They are treating devaluation  as if it never happenred  but  inflation included  did happen and it got out of hand.

   The bottom line is the cost of living went up with seniors  and pensioners getting a kick in the pants.

    For example over in Blighty  years ago seniors  pensions  increased up by2%  with the price of coal  going up by 4%.

  Here they never  tell you the  value of the pension funds and where the 2.4% is coming from  !

  if the  economy  is devalued by 10% so it nessesarly follows that the person fund has  devalued  by 10%  ie  it is worth less. or has less value. 
  It cost our visitors  more to come here.and stay a few days .

   It is said by the experts  that devaluation  encourages  more business but  the dont realize that  a country never recover from  devaluation of its currency .]]></description>
