		<description><![CDATA[INSURANCE
   Insurance  is legaly compulsary under the motor vehicles act regardless if the vehicle owner chooses third party or comprehensive  coverage. 

     Those rates  are way beyond  ridiculous.

 If you choose to protect you self from public liability  many people  have need  to  insure their  homes also.

  I do not see insuance statistics  reports listed  next to  Lettuce and  Cherries  on the above statics lists after all vehicle insurance  is mandated by law.

  Aparantly no law is perfect just like the wind that blows and bends  the branches of the trees.

  That does not make me  or  i can guess any of you jump for joy! 

    Several months ago a major insurance company and others most likely included them selves in the bonanza sent me a letter in advance, informing me the my insurance premium  on my vehicle was going to increase by 10% . 
 This caused me to go down on bended knee and reverently pray to the Almighty ..

   I can imagine that they wanted to beat the rest of society to the punch.

 If I do the math  my dollar also is subject to a devaluation of/ by its cash buying power by 10% we are looking at a total of 20% with no mention of that in  any of the recent statistical reports.

  Hanky  Panky people !

   Devaluation of a countries currency is catistrophic  both you i and our  Government suffer you are right them also .   That came over night and became  a morning supprise !

Come on guys who is winding your clock?

  Has any body ever heard of any insurance company going under ?

 To be fair while others are not, the cost of vehicle body work went up by leaps and bounds , never the less  their actuaries  require you  to pay the deductable.  GOT CHA !

  Some time back I over heard an insurance  agent explain to a senior that her house damage from a hurricane was  caused by an act of  God.

 Come on guys you can do  better.

  I guess that there will be no reduction in the  premium rates ever.

    I guess that  next month  I may have to consult my friend the &quot; Mr.  Whistle  Blower &quot;]]></description>

Inflation in Bermuda is lower than the countries from which we acquire the vast majority of our consumable goods. 

Given that our inflation rate is lower than those countries from which we acquire the vast majority of our consumable goods, we should consider importing and exporting goods. The old U.S. Navy dock in St. David’s could be used as a free port. Our low inflation rate makes us quite attractive for such a business. 

The PLP Government should hire itself out as international economic experts given the state of our economy when compared with that of the U.K., U.S. and Canada.]]></description>
