You are correct. This translates into the fact that the vast majority of Bahamian citizens are economically impoverished. So long as we continue to elect leaders who are not only lacking vision, but are corrupt, ignorant and soulless, nothing can change. Even those who I know who are working two or three jobs, are still only making 25K- 30K a year, at best. As I have stated before, the hundreds of millions of dollars spent in the webshops and liquor stores each year are merely symptoms of a society that is sick and ill cared for. The 500 million to 600 hundred million dollars that leaves these shores each year to pay interest only on the loans taken out by our politicians leave little money to care for our own people. Seems like it might be best to outsource the running of this country to foreigners. We have pretty much failed the Bahamian people. Yes?
Anyone hear the voice note about PMH the other day? Anyone really believe these clinics will ever be opened, when we can't even be proud of our national hospital? These clinics are merely a way to suck The People's money into the pockets of politicians. Nothing more, nothing less.
“What we’ve discovered is that an abused child, without intervention, becomes a dangerous adult,” the prime minister added. What accounts for nearly every politician in this country becoming a "dangerous adult"? What accounts for the wholesale dishonesty, corruption, incompetence and ignorance in our ruling class? Nobody else sees this? Not a legitimate question?
As if these problems do not exist on all of the Family Islands. We have failed miserably as a nation. No two ways about it. All these new hospitals need water, electricity and internet. None of which are acceptable at the present time. I think the PM should be in jail, not traveling the world in first class. No politician should ever, ever touch a contract. Ever.
Shows not only the level of jurisprudence competence of our PM, but also the lack of character and morals. This PLP administration is an ultimate failure for the Bahamian people. A picture is worth a thousand words.
