		<description><![CDATA[PENSION FUNDING
   After hearing  last open  ended budget that aparantlr satisfy the masses. 
   Can we rightly assume  the Govermnment  can and will  transfer funds for one account to another  with the exceptionto education for our young people.
 can  we also to assume  there are money collected by income earning departments  such as T.C.C and  the possibly failing of the  Marine and. Ports etc by doing so  creats aa synthetic  budget beening  created.

 I see the opposition  is not that happy  with the way things are done does  this creats  a situation of natural secptrosism by  the  pensioners as to how our money is being managed.
  To be blunt are we pensioners funding that  which can be  misplaced or lost in time to other department say  to W &amp; E on  50 yearsof road neglect   or M &amp; Pts on boats for moorings subsidies ,only if ! .
   M&amp;P department as a result of the inflation  could be faling shot  of planned financial expectations .
 The question could be asked  by those in doubt, are the pension funds  available  for over and above  intended   use .
Can we assume that a possible failing pension fund  can be back  funded.
  Who can blame those who are  concerned  for thinking other wise if there is catering  or subsidizing  the boating comunity  for example of boat owners  or free loaders?  or others !
  Stacks of  boats are out of the water  people can not be paying if the thing  is not function as a boat in the water.
  My small boat is on the hard.

   It is interesting to note  that  failed  B of B  in cluding  its Pension fund was  initially under funded.  Many  quit  the bank or were let go and left the island  with no where to be found  at the time deemed  as not eligable or  entitled.

 One of these days  as a retireei will fully tell you why and how the B of B failed and lost their lots .]]></description>
