The true barometer

We hear a lot through the media about what is being said by our politicians on various fronts, on the performance of our country in the various sectors, including the economic one which includes a wide range of planning, decision-making, opportunities and innovations which can all affect and bring prosperity to our citizens, who are demanding and who at times, fail to look around and evaluate the true situation.
At all times, for example, new items on the political party media are so conflicting as to make you crazy at how one can twist facts and project what is positive as negative, and vice-versa.
It is a fact and nobody can deny that jobs are not being created and safeguarded in the present difficult global financial crisis. For the sake of fairness, looking back at when the other party was in office, it is part of our history that jobs were created mainly through the formation of labour corps or by other means on the eve of a general election. To produce jobs is a very complex matter, consisting of element not easily attributed. The scale varies from one party to the other, but often seen at different ends.
Again, have we realised how every financial bond issue is subscribed to within hours? When money is concerned, only the truth comes out to tell us in real terms, where the state of affairs of our country stand. This is another hidden fact of how the economy is quite healthy and ready to revamp the financial assistance our small businesses need.
If we are ready to see the true reading of the barometer, we know where to find it. So it is time to wake up and call a spade a spade. If we think someone is around with a solution to every problem, we would be greatly disillusioned.
