Its NOT the PLP or FNM money it belongs to the citizens of the Bahamas and as such we the public need to squeeze every drop of value out of each dollar/ No tenders means paying more for a service and only benefiting these disgusting individuals.

When you consider that taking just one example (Damian Gomez) , that he could pay his light bill with just a couple of hours legal work. Also one Minister said "I didn't ask to be on the list". fair enough but by the same token if he had a conscious he would have asked to be taken off the list. How does any MP rationalize the Bahamian public struggling to pay bills and acutely aware that there are thousands of disconnections and accept such generous terms himself.
Expose them all by name including persons who ae not MP's. They are disgusting. I especially am disgusted by Fitzgerald who made the excuse that he was trying to get contracts with Bahi Mar because of his fathers medical bills. Guess he forgot the 2 million + contract daddy Fitzgerald got without tender. And this is the man/thug who preached to kids to work hard, study hard to get ahead all the while doing his level best to take all for himself.

Get real, we all know that pressure is brought to bear so that companies like W and S and BEC (as it was) toe the line.

What about the fishermen, construction workers, all the Hatiens being paid cash. "Under the table" is a common British phrase. So much for a job legally but cheaper for cash.
Additionally, merchants never seem to pass on savings, and we are being double and triple taxed already with VAT.

Reduction in import duty is only effective if the savings are passed along and we all know that especially on the family islands many stores simply pocket the extra cash. As for the National 1Health anybody with half a brain knew that wasn't feasible. Take central Eleuthera where close to a million dollars has been spent simply to rip a hill to provide a hospital. Why do we practice jungle economics and start these grandiose schemes that cannot be afforded. If you can,t staff and stock regular clinics how the hell can you operate all these so called island hospitals. Time to get real.

Less than the cost of one failed Carnival.

Just waiting to see the "blame the FNM" followers rubbing their hand in glee. The reality is that this dire financial situation is due in large part to the criminal spending of OUR money, by the incompetent and corrupt PLP. The average diehard PLP supporter still believes there is a money tree to provide countless government jobs and replace aging infrastructure. Sorry if we get downgraded everybody suffers with the exception of the ex ministers who have foreign bank accounts and property.

OMG says...

Thats because price gouging is a regular event especially withbfood prices on the family islands.

Some good ideas but remember churches often become an extension of one persons dream and also are in many cases a money making business. Not sure about the tax break for atheists?
