So then whilst the motor mouth QC has given his own self an unrestricted license to shoot off at the mouth unchecked he wants to hold everyone else in check as to their public expression of their opinions. Silence!

Just how the FNM government rose up out of the ashes and took control of the government, so will forces that be come into play and get this economy moving again. But this time it will be fro the benefit of Bahamians. And for those who were planted to create mischief, if only to paint pictures of doom and gloom, you all will fall on your faces and you will burn in your own shame.

When you cut government spending it is a step back on the right track to getting the government revenue and costs in balance. When you cut government wastage and corruption that is an even bigger stride. But when you grow the economy in addition to reducing spending, corruption and wastage, that is the surest and fastest way to get things back on track. With a robust economy not will government have cut its expenses, but the amount of dollars flowing into the treasury will also increase. And this is where the biggest challenge lies. And a growing economy will not only allow for the circulation of more cash but when people are working or their businesses are successful they are more willing and more able to pay taxes. I sincerely believe the government is moving in the right direction and it really is the people's time now. Let me put on my sunglasses.. the future looks that bright.

PEEP This: Perry promised to turn over the leadership of the PLP to Phillip 'Brave' Davis more than three years ago. That didn't happen. If fact Christie went to convention and fought tooth and nail to hold ont to the leadership post of the PLP . More than once in fact. Now look what happens: Brave Davis gets the PLP party dumped in his lap and basically all the die hard Christie supporters have been delivered deathly wounds. Sounds familiar? You sure? Remember how Hubert got to where he is today? Prime Minister of The Bahamas and still leader of a once wounded, crushed and publicity embarrassed and humiliated FNM? Remember how Hubert Ingraham so unexpectedly and unceremoniously dumped the remains of the defeated FNM into the lap of a surprised Hubert Minnis and quit? Ya see what Minnis did. So Brave Davis is your turn now. What you gonna do? Are you gonna search for the light at the end of the tunnel or are you gonna stay in the dark tunnel and throw wild blows? Beneath the belt even. Wounding yourself and inflicting your foot soldiers even more. Ya gonna sit around and lick ya wounds for five years ay? What you gone do Davis?

The fact is the Bahamas had a very stagnant even declining economy since the Hurricane hit in October. And while the first four months of the year remained steady, May and the months following the election all showed declining economic activity. Min the US for example many states are reporting unemployment rates of under 4%. Some states are reporting shortages of skilled and semiskilled workers. And the US government has had to issue work permits to agricultural workers who normally cross the border during the farming season then return afterwards. They are now afraid of Donald Trump.

At some point the PLP has to roll back its election artilliary, pack up its battle tents and allow the country to be governed by those who were elected to do so. They continue to expose themselves to more wounds (many self inflicted) when they continue to launch attacks on the sitting government. Many of the healing and rebuilding and restructuring of the PLP party does not need to happen in the public eyesight. Remember in years and especially the recent months prior to elections, no one could even fathom the strength, the cohesion and the readiness of the FNM even to fight the election much less to win in such a resounding way. They ignored the noise in the market for the most part and continued steadfast. This determination help cause the PLP get the cut a$$ they got.

The PLP is groping for straws. But at the same time they are like a wild animal cornered grabbing and clawing at everything and everyone. Dangerous enough but doing more harm to themselves.

North Eleuthera seems to be doing better than it has done in years. Hopefully the economic activity will trickle down to the South.

With the level of corruption and wrong doings that has been exposed it would be a great travesty if no one gets punished. Davis must understand the subliminal message he is sending out when he lashes out at authorities for doing their jobs.
