TOBAGO KNOWS INFLATION

Normally, the cost of living is half as high again as it is in Trinidad.

People from Tobago East must spend more on transport than people in Trinidad PNM heartland. And they must import green and ground vegetables.

Meanwhile I am still listening to get the faintest idea from the fighters for Tobago what is needed to make villages like Roxborough, Bethel or Mt St George which was the first capital wealthy players in the economy of Tobago.

Trinidad used to import managers from Tobago. Giving every Tobabonian a THA sinecure will not produce an ochro or reduce the price of land on the island. The service of money may be sabotaged by converting rents from gas and distributing it as TT dollars to make flower gardens by the roadsides.

The safety of tourists from pimps, pushers, pickpockets and gigolos is also necessary for development.
