What? now he gern round beggin!
I aint no Begger.
Yoll politicians stop yer gaddamn tiefen and spend our taxes WISELY and for the benefit ouf our country and it's children and you wouldn't have to go on a world stage to show us up beggin!
It hurts my heart and soul whats going on... :(

makes me sad to see that the PM does not know that The Bahamas is not part of Central and Eastern Europe.

You said it correctly!
Now we going round beggin for money!!!! These politicians and so called leaders have no insight, foresight, or knowledge on how to develop creative ideas to generate our economy!!! Their only know-how is to teif!!! Then they go around begging other countries for money!! Im so ashamed to be a Bahamian. Seriously!

This may work in our favor. The Chinese shoot people in the head for corruption and make them pay for the bullet. How many of our politicians would be up against the wall? That being said, This is a typical Bahamian move. "I had money but I wasted it and now I have none, Gimme dollar!" Once they give him a dollar he will spend it on rims for his car, no matter that his house is rotting and the roof leaks.

no more politicians in the Bahamas. Only a CEO that manages Bahamas, Inc., on behalf of the Chinese shareholders.

yup! preach it!!

the P of Venezuela, Mr. Maduro, was cited to fly to China these days to report to his superiors in the Chinese Government. Watch the news, China will take over the Venezuelan oil industry and own the economic future of many generations of Venezuelans. I know, Venezuela is not the Bahamas it wont cost China 200 B USD to buy us, they buy us with their pocket change. Perry, is that what you want to happen to our grandchildren?

having this said, I am not against getting money from the Chinese. The questions are: what do we do with it, what is the ROI, how do we pay it back? What is the exit strategy? If we build the best schools in North America and we will produce Nobel price winners and athletes and inventors and scholars and successful business people, I am all for it. If we use it to continue paying people to do nothing, paving the streets for Miss Universe contests etc., then we will lose out.

Ha,ha....PGC has a Chinese complexion in this picture. Gotta laugh or you would cry.

What the bloody hell did he implement VAT for if he is asking the Chinese for money to pay off debts?

our economic recipe
Borrow money + issue contracts = fck up contracts and cost overruns
Borrow more money + Fck up contracts again = funds get "misappropriated"
have we forgotten the original plan under Perry's first administration to build that stadium and the money went poof?
or the best yet what happened to BAMSI?
Rest assured though we have VAT and we are once again increasing our national debt so everything will be fine.
if only we had the **FREEDOM** to view **INFORMATION** as to where this money is being managed and transparency. If only such an **ACT** was in place

Lift up your head to the rising sun of Chinaland......................................

Might as well sell the country to the Chinese, lock stock and barrel because they already have us by the balls!

Comrade PM (Like Biblical Job) Christie only days after his cabinet taxed VAT upon poor, did with beggars hat in hand had fallen to his knees in front this Chinese lenders of last resort,.
Knowing tis his cabinet's only hope - that once again the Red Communist Democracy Oppressive government will make their PLP government temporally able pay some many of their government's long outstanding bills and give them twice as much as before.

Amen!

I guess prostitution is not paying what it use to,so we have to resort to begging.

Hat in hand, begging.
Shameful.
Looks like the Chinese got an official residence for the chief in the Bahamas before Perry.
This will not end well for the Bahamas.

It is shameful what has become of a once proud nation ................ that is what corruption causes you to sink to............. Fifty years of poor political decision making and grandiose plans without proper fiscal management and accountability.

We can learn a lot from the Chinese ................ they have gone up and we have gone down in the past 50 years.

Comrade we are still proud of our Bahamaland. Just not some the fu&kups messing it up rest good people.

Spare the bull$#it. The Bahamas has been borrowing money for many years. Where do you think IDB/World Bank funds come from? Now we may not agree with who we are borrowing from and thats fair. But let us stop pretending as if we haven't been here before. We cry about borrowing but many of us the same ones who don't want to pay any tax. Now I'm not saying we should drown ourselves in debt, but in case many of you haven't noticed we are already in the shit. When we get defense force vessels, equipment etc from the US you think its free? Hell no. There's a price to be paid. It may not be in currency but there is a price. Countries borrow all the time this is nothing new. We just have to be disciplined enough to settle the debt. The US went all over Europe after the war of Independence to borrow money from then wealthy European nations. John Adams was principally tasked as an ambassador to seek out funding. We have to stop being overly dramatic about everything and try to navigate our way through crisis.

big difference from borrowing by issuing sovereign debt in the market and asking for a hand out from a Fund that was set up for other countries and has nothing to do with us!

Stapeaius Thank you so much.

Comrade Stapedius while it seems every country carries a national debt and it is all but impossible to cancel last dollar debt, every effort must be made to reduce it. But for one lender to hold your major notes, sends dangerous signals that a foreign government have become the "taxpayers lender of last resort." No louder a wake-up call that it is paramount our elected government curtail and make cuts to spending. Unlike the World Bank and all the other lenders, the Chinese is a government with a large, powerful and ruthless army, navy and air force. What army do we have to protect the sovereignty of Bahamaland, should they decide repossess the country? Are you suggesting we just go with the borrowing flow and not rock the PLP cabinet's borrowing, all they can get their hands on boat? How long can we take take the taxpayers last dollars to service the billions of dollars done borrowed? We can't even stop half-ass sailing sailing sloops from dumping illegals by the thousands right in front our beautiful sandy beaches.

I don't know if you noticed the picture ,but Perry has been depending on the Chinese so
much that ,check the picture again, he almost looks Chinese. His favourite food has
probably changed from peas and rice to shrimp fried rice.

Like i said we will have a Chinese PM soon

"We have to stop being overly dramatic about everything and try to navigate our way through crisis."

A crisis of our own making by doing exactly what the P.M. wants to do, borrowing money. I thought that they just introduced VAT to try and pay BACK some of our MASSIVE debt. and now the P.M. is actively looking to EXPAND that debt? When will the government o what ALL of us have had to do, CUT SPENDING? How about a BALANCED BUDGET? I know these are big words but sooner or later the government of The Bahamas is going to have to learn them and live them!

Comrade AsISee It, I know we all get caught up in blogging over the financial doom caused by
this PLP cabinet but fortunately, despite PM's Christie's and Papa Hubert's borrowing binges and selling-off Bahamaland's sovereignty to deep pockets foreigners, the finances of Bahamaland remain in fairly good financial shape. Unlike some of the other Caribbean countries we are not experiencing a financial collapse but how imminent away can it be, if we do not reign in and begin to focus on what is actually happening to our nation's finances and the off-loading of our birthright sovereignty. The answer that question can get pretty damn ugly for Bahamalanders.
