It has gotten to the point where I longer believe one single word coming from this administration.
Clearly, there is something very, very wrong.
Sadly, the Bahamian people remain enthralled with these chumps.
Unbelievable.

All excellent comments.
All true.
All sad.
The kickbacks are the sole reason for these large projects.
Period.
After the 4 year grace period, what was the collateral put forth?

Until we value education, nothing in this country can change.
You cannot legislate morality, or decency, honesty, respect, or common sense.
Until we, as a nation, begin to provide the resources to raise and teach children who are critically thinking, have respect for all life, and are willing and able to learn, we will have what we have now;
A large group of people who are ignorant and do not care about anything, who continue to elect people who do not care about anything other than themselves.
And, if you say anything at all seeking to correct this situation, you are the problem.
Obviously, none of us will be around, if and when, these changes could possibly occur, generations from now.

I will continue to say that this administration has no concern for our children in this country.
They know what they are doing is wrong. They just don't care.
Are there any true statesman in this super small country whereby they need to be using taxpayers money to fly around the world?
Stay home and concentrate and fix the problems here.
Unless, there are other reasons for them to be traveling around all the time.
Diplomatic immunity has some wonderful benefits for those who take advantage of them.

Who stands to benefit, or at least not be hurt, by allowing this to drag on?

First, once we come to terms with the idea that this administration has no concern for anyone other than themselves, it all falls into place.
They are not stupid.
They are just greedy, ugly and evil.

As we pause, we must take note on how our government is trying to tax its way into prosperity; a move that Sir Winston Churchill warned about many decades ago. Churchill declared, “I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”
Sorry Mr. Sweeting, but I take issue with this quote.
Our government is NOT trying to tax this country into prosperity.
They are trying to tax their personal bank accounts into prosperity.
Slight difference.

Mr. Sweeting,

The "government" does not care about anything except themselves.
They show us with every move they make.
What has improved since the last election?
How many dirty scandals since last election?
Lost count, hey?
No educated person could look at the actions of what is being done with this boating imbrglio and say, yes, this makes perfect sense.
Thanks PM and PLP administration for including us in the decision making process, on which our livelihood depends, and thank you for taking our input. And, by the way, thank you for explaining to us exactly what you were going to do in a timely manner. And, definitely thanks for your no response to the overwhelming negative publicity both from your own constituents, as well as, the greater boating community which contributes 10 times the value to our nation than your sorry butts in Parliament.
Our government is an abject failure, by any metric available.
And, they simply don't give a damn about the Bahamian people.
We don't deserve better?

You work very hard to be an idiot, don't you?
Or, does it come really easy for you?

The pastors show their real selves.
They've already been bought and paid for.
Just like the rest of those who think philanthropy = good public policy.
So, do we see real intelligent and moral leaders entering the dirty fray of Bahamian politics?
Or, is this more of the same old, same old, nasty All-for-Me party affiliation?
I got my answer.
