Didn't the IDB just issue a report on how badly The Bahamas has fared in efficiently allocating the IDB money? Didn't they just give The Bahamas overall bad grades? And yet, these wonderful people at IDB are throwing good money after bad? Makes one wonder what the IDB is trying to do, hey?

Donald Trump cares about Nothing except himself. If someone does not understand this they need to go back to school, or choose different parents. Trump has no moral compass and is a malignant narcissist. There is no human quality that Trump possesses that is beneficial to mankind. Not one. There is not a truly educated person alive who believes that Trump is a smart, caring and moral man. "Mark A. Turnquest, a corporate consultant and founder of the 242 Small Small Business Association and Resource Centre, previously told Tribune Business that The Bahamas could be plunged back into a renewed cost of living crisis if the US president-elect follows through on his pledge because this nation imports such a high quantity of Chinese manufactured products." Excuse me Mr. Turnquest, but are you suggesting that The Bahamas is not presently in a cost of living crisis? Are you serious? Yes, we are in for serious times here in 242. Trouble is, we ourselves continue to vote for people to represent us that do not differ from Trump that much.
Ms. Wallace says,“It is consistently shown to us as women that marriage is actually a terrible idea in this country, because all it does for us is strip us out of access to our rights, in particular, our sexual and reproductive rights and the right to pass on nationality to our children,” she said. “This administration, like every administration before, it is spineless and incompetent and does not deserve anyone’s votes.” My God the truth hurts, doesn't it? This administration, like all others before it, has not the education, the brains, nor the decency to EVER to do the right thing unless it benefits them. The truth, always hurts those who are dishonest. We remain 10 steps behind anyone standing for decency in this world.
Of course the ignorance of economic matters at all levels of our government could not be the reason for the decline of living standards in this country. That a group of no-nothing selfish bureaucrats who have little education and cannot be trusted, coupled with a national D- scholastic average has nothing to do with our continual down sliding as a nation. birdie doesn't seem to hear the Cry me a River from the overwhelming majority of Bahamian people.
