The West Palm Beach Century Village has a decision to make that will affect the residents and the country for years to come.

The administration, led by Century Village President;  David Israel, is vigorously pursuing and promoting a Canadian cable service provider as the best choice for the village for renewing their cable TV provider's contract. It's a ten year multi million dollar deal that will see huge profits and jobs leave the country if the residents follow the leaders suggestions..

Despite David Israel's glowing support for Donald Trump, his bombast pales and fades into ignominy when one considers that he is more interested in saving a couple of bucks and crowing about another "best deal ever" than joining Trump's initiative to revive the American economy. .

Both proposals contain attractive perks and promises of improved technology and better, faster service.The Canadian proposal offers service at a lower monthly rate that amounts to a few dollars a month for the 7854 condo owners who make Century village their home..

The question before Century Village is not just about a few dollars it's also a moral dilemma.

 President  Trump initiative to revive our faltering economy proclaims:  America and Americans first. The campaign slogan cries . BUY AMERICAN and HIRE AMERICAN. apparently David Israel didn't hear that one.

We all know the benefits of buying American products and using American services. Most Americans are affected by the loss of jobs and profits being drained by foreign interests. 

Trump’s campaign to turn our economy around depends on the co-operation of the American people. Without it  we are going to continue in the downward spiral in our economy, and that’s going to have a major impact on not only us, but on the generations to come.

Every expenditure, large and small, has a ripple effect that resounds in many ways, More jobs and profits for American companies and citizens means a greater spread of our tax dollars across a much wider base. It also means   fewer people dependent on social services that we all pay for in one way or another. 

Century Village's  decision on awarding a cable contract should not just be based on whether they can save a couple of dollars a month. Consideration should be given to the far reaching implications of those profits and jobs  being carried off to foreign lands.

That’s the question facing Century Village. The outcome will demonstrate who they are and what they believe in.
