You must agree with Christie on this and the pissing away" of government funds did not start with him

Yes. . .it did not start with him. . .HE IS JUST FIRST WHERE HE CARN SHOW ANYTHING FOR THE MONEY HE SPENT! THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. . .L0L!

Back in the 1980's up until almost to 2002. The Bahamas, due to the illicit drug trade and other things saw almost two decades of economic boom. Persons who were not involved in illegal drugs benefited from the excess money flowing through the economy. As did the government from booming businesses import duties the housing boom among other things. Little children walked around with $700 cell phones and they weren't even smart (the phones) and every one wore brand name clothing, so much so that police had to be called to The Tommy and Polo stores on days before holidays especially Christmas, to control the crowds of customers and keep the peace. This was the times when government should have been operating with a surplus budget, but every time a budget was presented there were provisions for borrowing money. Lots of it. And since there was lots of money flowing through the economy there was little of no accountability. Bahamas air was operating at full capacity for most of its flights both international and to the Family Islands yet it could not turn a profit. And it was not unusual to see some passengers traveling with up to 20 pieces of luggage and not paying excess baggage. Getting a government contract and not completing the work or not finishing the project on time or doing shoddy work was the order of the day. And government continued to pile debt on top of debt. They continued getting less and less value for taxpayers dollars and because of the country's credibility no one was shy to loan the Bahamas money. They there was the dual economy where foreigners came to the Bahamas and set up businesses that were automatically exempted from certain taxes and some skipped town owing millions and millions in taxes, payroll expenses and other unpaid bills. And that is how the country came to become saddled with a 7 billion dollar national debt and addicted to deficit spending. When times were good, Bahamians and the government 'pissed ' away hundreds of millions of dollars. They did not save for a rainy day. Now it's time to pay the piper. And because the government has not yet learned to set a lean and 'porkless' budget, and control spending and be accountable and curb corruption, many more hundreds of millions of the people's money is being 'pissed away."

Every word of your comment is golden.

There can be no denying that Christie is an undisputed expert on the ease with which taxayers' funds can be 'pissed away' through waste, fraud, corruption and outright instances of theft. We have the accumulated annual deficits and national debt to prove his expertise in this area.

His language is getting as vile as his hand gestures. Not befitting at all. Seems to be getting very rattled! Who would want to debate with him? Besides, he is rambling.

Comrades! I think the PM meant to say - The Inmates at Fox Hill, don't even have a Piss Pail to share among their 5 cellmates?

Perry is so out-of-order right now ........... if he is re-elected to Parliament, he will show up in his boxers .............. He must be retired in the public interest

Thinks he is Trump, I'm guessing! And nastiness will help him win like Trump?????? Wow.....just as delusional as ever.

LOL........ Mr PM has gone crazy...... After his visit to Abaco on the week end, and he saw what little support there is for the PLP in both the North and South he caught with the egger. I'm told they tried to call up the Witch of Endor to try and help. Ever she has turned against them.

I wish that the Prime Minister could see himself through the eyes of intelligent Bahamians, then he would see what a wutless waste of a human being that he is.
