Economist says...

Who is on the Council?
What age are they?
What do they do for a living?
How many are computer literate?
How many have any knowledge of the WTO, the EPA or the IMF,
Do they know any of the international treaties The Bahamas has signed?
How well do they know our own laws?
Do they understand why this Country needs a Freedom of Information Act and a Fiscal Responsibilities Act?

Without the knowledge of most of the above then it is impossible for the Council to approve anyone to run our Country.

This is the same man who feels that the crime plan has not failed. Grade "D" thinking.

You expect Dr. Blah (minnis) to make a statement of fact?

You need to talk about something totally irrelevant and then he will speak "blah".

Economist says...

The government must act now. It should be noted that just over 40% of the debt is held by banks. They will have to sell much of that if The Bahamas is downgraded to Junk Bond status.

The cost of borrowing would then skyrocket and possibly put The Bahamas in a position of being unable to pay its debts.

That would crash the economy. Unemployment could also skyrocket to as much as 30%.

LBT would be a much, much better Leader of the Opposition than Minnis.

Economist says...

You are making a 'press statement' on what Leslie Miller says? Keep to the important facts man.

The US has reported corruption. What are you going to do about it? How are you going to fix the problem?

Stop the blah, blah, blah and say something for a change, like "I resign as Leader of the Opposition".

The current leadership in the FNM is ineffectual. They can't do anything to do anything

On FNM urged: Push on BOB report tabling

As I understand it they are only saying NO to #4 and that people should vote their conscious on #1-3.

Economist says...

The FNM is full of old people in the Counsel and the leadership.

They can't see that LBT is their only chance, because they are already blind in their old age (been in politics way too long to see).
