Well done KP!

Keep the forensic audits going. Once you expose systemic organized corruption within the public sector the funds saved will balance the budget.

Here's a translation of what the IMF is mischievously saying to our government with tongue in cheek: "YOU'RE NOT BORROWING ENOUGH - YOU CAN AND SHOULD BORROW MORE!" Now the IDB will whole heartedly place its lending teat (tit) to the sucking lips of our spend-thrift government.

We can only hope they are not foolish enough to bite.

Dumb DNA . . .making yinna self sound so foolish. . .IMF told us we getting we things together. . .but instead of saying they doing something finally, you gone stupid like about they just said that so we could come borrow some money!! You dumb politicians make me sick with yall low brow thinking. . .SHUT UP AND GO SOMEWHERE PLEASE!!

*Thank God for the PLP and moving BAR MAR forward. without BAR MAR
where would the Bahamas be?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. . .good one birdie. . .I am sure that this government's work since coming to office did not single-handedly make the turn around. . .in fact I don't care who caused it at this point. . .the main fact is that it is turning around!! Now the rest of yall political Andros yard chickens can go on and determine who made the turn-around. . .I don't care who did!!

licks2, whether you care or not does not change the fact that a large part of the reason why the economy is turning around is due to the efforts of the last administration. In short, birdie is (partly) right. We can be mature enough to have an intelligent discussion even if the facts don't necessarily suit our narrative.

Have ya joy there fella/sis. . .I DON'T CARE ONE BIT HOW IT TURN AROUND. . .THAT'S FOR POLITICIANS THEM TO WASTE TIME ROWING ABOUT. . .NONE OF THEM WILL CONCEDE THAT ANYWAY. . . DON'T WASTE MY TIME TALKING FOOL ABOUT "THE FACTS". . .WHAT FACTS? YOUR FACTS? NOW YOU CAN SEE WHY THIS IS USELESS. . .POLITICIANS ARE TOO PIG HEADED. . .ALL OF THEM HAD PARTS IN MESSING IT UP AND IN GETTING IT CLEARED. . .BUT NONE OF THEM WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BAD AND WILL TAKE ALL THE CREDIT FOR THE GOOD. . .SO THERE. . .ONE BIG WASTE OF TIME!!

Bahamians have tightened their belts and, like Americans, they have learned to count pennies and not leave them at the cashier or toss them in the parking lot. Many are living without light and cable and buying internet only on a need basis. The days of tossing out the furniture for new ones every Christmas are long gone or buying a new car just to attend a wedding. And with government plugging a lot of leaks in the system and seeking to produce more food the Bahamas is recession resistant.

Imagine what the quality of life would be like when the sovereign fund becomes and the country starts collecting real and proper royalties from salt and aragonite, and fees in the millions from airlines that use our airspace. Imagine when cruise ships pay their proper share of taxes to bring taxes here and BPL converts to LNG and electricity bills fall by 30 percent at least. And the government gets it right with Oban and require them to a right portion of taxes. Imagine

I supposed that since you see these fantastic future sovereign works as revenue into our consolidated purse. . .then you also have the knowledge of where the Bahamas one hundred plus billions dollars for capital constructions to bring these enterprises up to operational standard and profitability.

Given the state of the world's economy, who really controls it, and our desperation for even a mere sliver of positive news, it would be best to suggest that the reaction should be cautiously optimistic.
I remember that Enron was the world's largest corporation, shortly before it collapsed.
If you really believe that the same class of people aren't making these forecasts, auditing and advising, you are not paying attention.
The trends are rather clear in all of our lifetimes.
The losers outnumber the winners by about 1 million to 1.
If you're satisfied with that, by all means let's celebrate.
Thank god The Bahamas can finally start to reap the rewards of our collective hard work and honesty, and long term planning.

yes! <img src="http://ow.ly/eh2230e4g8d" width="1" height="1">

Genesis b15:13 - 15-15 told me before the IMF did.

The IMF can be compared to the fox that is placed in charge of watching the chicken coop.

All that is required for each Bahamian to become a millionaire is $400 Billion Dollars. And with all these multi billion dollar investments and natural resources in this country why is ninety percent of Bahamians saddled in personal debt and the national debt climbing towards 8 Billion dollars? Why are so many living below the poverty line? This fourth generation will not be broke.
