sometimes I just sit scratching my head wondering if JA is one day going to have to resort to some austere measures, like massive reduction on imports to reduce the spending (of course some things can be exempt). Reduce the spread of foreign based franchises on the island. I'm just thinking of companies like "Rooms To Go", who really put local furniture makers on the back burner; limit the number of cars per household, have supermarkets be subject to selling a certain percentage of locally manufactured items, yes, i know that I am no economist and these crazy thoughts are running thru my head, but maybe, even if it is just for a year, we should try this. We are just spending, and it does not seem to be on our local stuff.
