The rats went scampering, so now the cat now coming after the cheese.

Trump plans to spend $2 trillion to fix, repair and make the US infrastructure more modern. To keep up with China, Japan, Dubai and other fast paced countries around the world. Airports, train stations, bridges telecommunications systems all included. But the question is where will the $2 trillion come from. And that seems to be the least of worries for Trump.

"“*Just yesterday I had an opportunity to spend some time with the family. This family is no stranger to me. As a matter of fact the deceased is the brother of my brother-in-law, the deceased’s brother is married to my sister. I know this family and so our hearts go out to them*."

Small world. Condolences to all whom this tragedy affected.

The US State department creates its own news and headlines...go to www.watnextinthebahamas.com

Hit Carnival with a heavy fine and ban their ships from The Bahamas until the fine is paid. So that is what the US had plans to do.

Good to see local companies performing well.

So one report is saying both VAT revenues and customs duties are down, which clearly indicates a slowing economy, but government was able to realize surplus budgets because of cuts in spending. And regardless of how much you cut spending, a slowing economy that is already depressed cannot spell good news. So how can the government stimulate investors, create consumer confidence and throw a lifeline to hundreds of retailers that find themselves on the brink of bankruptcy? Not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination and while it may be wise to hold tight on the reins of spending and borrowing something has to be done to stimulate growth. Especially with 5000 plus students graduating soon and hitting the pavement looking for jobs

A simple rule of economics is as price increases, consumption decreases. And by extension, the more a government increases taxes, the less consumers will spend. And in some cases if consumers are already spending all of their income and government increases taxes, consumers have less disposable income and so they have no choice but to spend. Some may borrow or use credit cards to attempt to maintain their standard of living but eventually these resources also dry up. The problem is the Turnquest led finance team is/was sending too many shocks to the economy one right after the other. An economy that they met severely depressed and many persons unemployed and deep in debt. And it seemed like anytime they managed to get their head above water, another shockwave of taxes and bills would come and set them awash. And even now as the tourism sector continues to show strong and consistent recovery, little of the benefits have yet reached the local economy. And if the government continues to fritter away the money that is in circulation, without there being any real growth in the economy, then there will be even worse times ahead both for the government and for Bahamians.

Will this just be another case of, ‘O we found them! They were there all the while, we just overlooked them.’ And of course Bahamians are growing wary of these false flags.

So why did the family of the slain officer have to be informed about his tragic death some six hours after the fact. What if the killer(s) had also planned to go after the family
