Hang on, **in 2013**, when explaining why you needed VAT, you said that you had a **recurrent deficit of $290 million**.
You say that VAT income will be $250 more than you expected ($300 million) so you **collected an additional $550** million this year **so you should already have a surplus**.
So tell us **how much of our money you have wasted?**
Wow, I have heard that sometimes "you must spend money to make money", but this is just crazy.
More debt begets more debt. Have they no control, borrow, borrow and borrow. This country is going to see a devaluation, this year, if they keep borrowing.
Gee Dr. Minnis what are you wasting time letting "Shame" Gibson take you off the real subject for. Have you never heard of "sticks and stones**.......but names will never hurt me**"
Stop wining and start leading, or let someone else do it.

I agree with Mr. Symonette. Dr. Minnis and Mr. Pintard are acting are acting like scared little boys rather than men who can lead.

The last thing Freeport and it residents need is the government taking over.
Look at East and West Grand Bahama and compare them to Freeport. Government can't run anything.
