The Barbados government asks the Central Bank how much extra inflation they can cause which can safely be blamed on Donald Trump
BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS – The Minister in the Ministry of Finance, Ryan Straughn, met with the Governor of the Central Bank of Barbados today to enquire how much extra inflation they could get away, while blaming the Trump administration in the United States.
"It's important that we don't cause too much extra inflation, because persons will see through it. We could probably blame a moderate amount of extra inflation on Trump", an anonymous source said. "We asked the Central Bank to set the stage by warning the public that Trump's tariffs may cause inflation to rise, and to be on the safe side, we also asked them to warn the public that our national debt might rise too," the source added.
This reportedly gives the Barbados government some breathing space to borrow extra money from its Chinese masters while work continues in the Scotland District as part of the successful COMPLANT road rehabilitation programme. It has been suggested that the programme will be finished by 2078, by which time thousands of Chinese agents will be working at all levels of the Barbados government to assist the local authorities with their truly Bajan vision of a prosperous and independent Barbados, free from the shackles of colonialism and slavery.
"Without the Chinese, we could never be free from the scourge of colonialism. We are so excited to have Chinese agents at all levels of government to assist us in our truly homegrown vision of a free and independent Barbados," Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley reportedly said during a Cabinet meeting.
Santia Bradshaw, Deputy Prime Minister of Barbados, couldn't have agreed more. "Friends of all, satellites of none," she said, with her finger pointing in the air.
As the International Monetary Fund (IMF) financial assistance programme finally draws to an end, the Barbados authorities thanked the IMF for their assistance in establishing financial best practices within the Barbados government which they've assured the IMF delegation would remain in place for at least a few months after they leave the island before they forget what to do, and go back to what they did before.
