During the campaign "of truths", the PLP claimed that the FNM government destroyed the economy or as Min. Rolle (Investment) suggested the country was not open for business. Considering the current economic situation (Min. Nottage talked about fiscal constraints) is the gussymae government willing to do what the French government is doing "a 30% pay cut for the President and all of his ministers.". If not, our economy is not as bad as the PLP claims.

surely you jest ,,there working on the unemployment problem ,,jobs for all ,oooopps sorry i mean jobs for all of them ,i know its only a week but they have already dropped the unemployment rate by .oooooo5 %

All the jokes aside, this group of senators as unremarkable as they are along with the newly elected members of the house will find the sledding tough going forward. I spit ball estimated before May 7th that the current budget deficit was going to be about $250M considering the reckless drunken spending of Citizen Ingraham, but imagine my utter shock when another daily reports it could be over $300M (which will probably never be mentioned by this unbiased newspaper). Many of you championed the last administration's as a get it done one, but at what cost? Just like in 2002 with the then record $140M one the PLP will be hamstrung coping with another record election year budget shortfall left behind by the FNM. I hope this time around they all focus on the nation building first and cut out the silliness and self-serving behavior for all of our sakes or we're doomed to continue to be stuck between the pit and the pendulum.

The PLP claimed that they had "expert" advice before winning the election. There should be no financial surprises. If there are financial surprises, I hope that the financial team that advised before the election is not the financial team presented to the Bahamian public as the saviors of the economy. (Were the PLP campaign claims based on hot air?)
What the FNM did is done. Move forward.... The PLP cannot be allowed to follow in the FNM's footprints of alleged fiscal mismanagement. The purpose of the gussymae cabinet is to give Bahamians the impression that things will get done -- smoke and mirrors. With that being said, the senators are neophytes (Senator Smith is the exception). As one radio personality stated, their job is to review the policies passed by the lower house (House of Assembly). The senate is not a training academy, it is not a part of the 52 Weeks Programme. The Bahamian public (based on the election results) is expecting/demanding change.
