And way too many of our politicians today lack the vitally important soft skills you speak of in addition to their lack of adequate grey matter.

Amen!

This is a dismantling of the PLP government's grossly mismanaged and failed NHI scheme which will result in taxpayers footing the mega-million dollar bill for the bailout the scheme needs before being turned over to private health insurers, such as Colina, Family Guardian and CG Atlantic. Taxpayers and the insured alike are going to pay a dear price!

The Doctors Hospital transaction is nothing but a devious scheme to rob the taxpayers of our nation in order to wrongfully and unjustly enrich a select group of politically connected wealthy doctors who have mismanaged their controlling interest in Doctors Hospital to the point where they now feel justified in disingenuously claiming to government they require a bail out to stay in business.

We are reaping the dire consequences of decades of failed education policies by incompetent and corrupt politicians that could not care less about how dumbed-down the vast majority of the electorate became. After all, corrupt politicians simply detest discerning voters who cannot be easily manipulated. See my earlier post above.

We long ago reached the point where we would never have politicians with the character, integrity, smarts, and stature to do anything about the key factors contributing to the exacerbation of our nation's brain-drain and rising youth unemployment. And some of us already know what's ultimately in store for nation if our most corrupt senior politicians remain on the dole of the ChiCom government.

The crux of the problem is our education system. For decades now, the cream of the crop graduating from our public and private schools tend not to return home after furthering their education abroad. This has become the norm unless of course nepotism assures the lazier and less intellectually endowed among them that they will have a much easier and cushier career opportunity locally than they could ever dream of having elsewhere.

And as most of us know only too well, the overall quality of life in the Bahamas has greatly declined in recent decades which only serves to exacerbate our nation's ongoing brain drain. It has therefore become all too easy for foreign controlled enterprises doing business in our country to demand that they be allowed to employ whatever number of foreign workers they may need, even at the most basic levels. Besides, this corrupt Davis led PLP government sees more work permit fees as more funds they can get their dirty, grubby, sticky fingers on...if you know what I mean.

The ever increasing youth unemployment levels is becoming a dangerous powder keg that will eventually explode with dire consequences for our nation as a tourist or second home destination.

The very arrogant, nasty, sinister and evil Minnis knows full well that most of what he nonchalantly refers to as "excess liquidity" in our domestic financial system is being invested on a rolling renewal basis in short-term debt obligations of the government, i.e. short-term Treasury bills and the like, in order to keep this corrupt Davis led PLP government afloat.

Too many Bahamians do not understand that our Central Bank has to print more and more Bahamian currency to fund our ever growing bloated, incompetent and corrupt Davis led PLP government. The printing of more and more Bahamian dollars gets pushed (almost forcibly) by our Public Treasury on to the balance sheets of our domestic financial institutions. This in turn is a major contributing factor to the declining purchasing power of our local currency and the unaffordable cost of living now being experienced by so many Bahamians.

Sadly, what's been happening here in recent decades has resulted in the balance sheets of too many of our domestic banks, insurance companies, pension funds, being structurally unsound. Bahamians are now indirectly funding way too much of the government's finances with their bank deposits, life insurance premiums, and pension plan contributions.

One well known senior banker recently said outrightly that the corrupt Davis led PLP government could not afford for the domestic financial institutions to invest in other things in a big way if doing would result in a significant reduction in their ongoing rolling investments in short-term government debt obligations denominated in Bahamian dollars.

The level of corruption here should be of no surprise to anyone given that Goodman's Bay Corporate Centre remains under the control of its developer, namely the lawyer Emanuel M. Alexiou.

LMAO. The greedy Snake continues to spew more self-serving hot air than the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park.

LMAO......no one believes his 'fake' statistics.
