This government will not slash spending! it will hurt but for fuck sake we either slash the goddman budget or we race to all the credit agencies putting us a C and D ratings... then our only borrower will be the IMF which will systemically fuck this country to high heaven with the austerity measures and the removal of tariffs towards an income tax... on a potentially unpegged Bahamian dollar. the government would either bow to that OR we go for full Dollarization and abandon the Bahamian dollar like Ecuador did. But that puts a literal Glass ceiling on the economy and the banking industry virtually gutting the central bank to take marching orders based on the Fed reserve. Either way the standard of living plummets and inflation explodes since we don't make enough to feed ourselves. Our trade deficit is too high with little subsistence farming. our demand for foreign goods will be the death of us.

We HAVE to remove this government... but the problem is who the hell do you put in? opposition is a complete dumpster fire

Now notice...when someone makes statements like Moncur did, and does all the time, the church community and the BCC are absolutely goddman silent. The instant the discussion is about equality in the country they roar up about some global homosexual agenda.

Considering that this push has failed twice under two different administrations? Nah. If I were in government I wouldn't even begin to waste public funds on another one of these. The people have spoken and women have rejected any changes being made, twice. Leave it be. We had the same stance on Marital Rape in this town, women will never be equal in this country within my lifetime and that's the way the Bahamian people like it. No point in going against the will of the people.

here is a workable solution, cut the budget, stop wasting money on Urban Renewal aka pay your cronies/muda Pratt, stop hiring external auditors and listen to the bloody auditor general, stop wasting money through land and parks giving out the same contracts multitudinous amounts of times, stop blowing money on carnival, retool/retrain/restaff essential services in the civil services to maximize efficiency and cost effectiveness, stop allocating millions for the office of the Prime Minister, reveal how much money we blew on BAMSI, stop blowing the Bahamian people's NIB money on bailing out a garbage Bank that the Central Bank seems completely complicit in regulating in the past.... for god's sake let the country's Economic policies be run by an actual economist and not a lawyer! Give the REAL Minister of finance (Halkitis) some autonomy, the same goes for the Central Bank. this economic foolishness will continue if the Prime Minister continues to enjoy his Godlike powers afforded to him by the Constitution. The Judiciary, the Central Bank, Energy policy, Economic policy, Criminal Justice system etc. is all under the Influence of 1 bloody man/woman.

Create a state with actual separation of powers and where financial institutions can set and carry out a policy in autonomy.

But that requires constitutional change, which this country doesn't want. So screw it.

I think you are on the money with that
