NDC has sold Ghanaians into slavery

The dirty corrupt ignoble government of Professor Fiifi Atta Mess has sold Ghana into slavery. All intelligent Ghanaians now know that the NDC as a party are IMF and World bank babies. The NDC loves taking loans from these agencies which have the agenda of turning all nations into slaves to the bank.

Never forget that the NPP through hard work alleviated all our IMF debt. That is, they bought our freedom from Slavery! We once again could hold our head up high with pride and, walk with dignity. In less than ONE year the NDC came back and, sold Ghana right back into slavery.

Who were these slave traders you may ask? Fiifi Atta Mills PhD, Kwabena Duffour PhD, and Fiifi Kwetey BSc. These men effectively sucked the life out of future generations and, made decisions which will be felt years from now. The thing is; these guys are not the biggest slave traders we have had.

The biggest slave trader to ever live in Ghana went by the name of Jerry John Rawlings. In the 1980’s this man managed to privatize a lot of Nkrumah’s 1960’s industries and, those he privatized them to collapsed them. This was based on advice he got from institutions like the IMF/World bank. This subsequently created part of the problem we have now. Namely, we have been rendered a state the exports RAW products rather than packaged products which fetch more revenue.

Why did Atta Mills Sell us back into slavery? The real answer is; he does not care for Ghana. HARSH, you may say, but, his actions prove this. What is even worse is the fact that since coming to power he has not only sold us into slavery but, he is pursuing a “low spending approach” which he does not fully understand the implications of.

The low Spending approach has as its premise, cutting spending and, other noble ideas. That is to say, the main point is to attempt to create an economy which is based on money that the government brings in rather than on loans blah blah blah blah blah… It’s the NEW economics and, everyone is jumping on the ship around the world.

The problem with this so called new economics is the fact that it is INHUMANE and, does not factor in the HUMAN COST of low spending. Namely, if the government does not stimulate the economy by keeping it vibrant the citizens within the economy suffer immensely. That is precisely what is going on in Ghana. Namely, our economy is crawling due to “hypostimulation” and, is collapsing before our eyes.

It must be concluded that Professor Mills has a very infantile understanding of Economics. You cannot have a low spending approach in Ghana because; this approach only works in the midst of a vibrant private sector which can create wealth. What he fails to realize is if there is no money in the system then, there is nothing to spend. If there is nothing to spend by the people then, the government by shutting its self down threatens to create a state of anarchy!

Atta Mills foolish approach will artificially lower inflation but, this lowering of inflation is phony and, it does not represent good economics but, represents hungry bellies. After all, if you have no cash then, of course the people who are selling will have to lower their price because, there the customers have no money and, the seller needs to sell something… This lowering of prices does not mean people have more money in their pockets because, they are still spending the same percentage of their salary that they would be spending under the old system. This is not progress but, rather represents MASSIVE FAILURE.

The NPP’s approach was better because, it was creating a local and international private sector which would have had the power to create the type of economy Atta Mills is trying to create. It would have been backed up by real money and, it would have subsequently been a success!!! Sadly we have been rendered failures by this filthy government. This is all part of the bigger IMF plan. Namely, the 1 billion dollar loan the NDC took will not do anything because, under the current economics the NDC is practicing and, under IMF rules, the money will be spent in areas which will render the loan worthless…

Right now, people have been politely asking Atta Mills to fix the economy and, make it more vibrant by creating the environment for people to get money to start businesses (NPP’s ideology). Professor MIlls smiles and does nothing. Later on people are going to protest and, ask Mills to create a more suiting economy which factors in the type of country we have. He will most likely smile and ignore them. What will finally happen is, the people will get angry and, DEMAND through any means necessary for Mills to bring real change. Will he listen?
