It is the duty of our government to provide the cheapest energy to the country. Russian oil is available with a 20% to 30% discount to world prices. Russian oil could lower everyone’s energy bills. Our government was elected to look after the Bahamian people, not the Ukrainian people, so let’s get that cheap oil and end the useless bickering.
I have yet to see one of these "experts" talk about government reducing wasteful spending and collecting due taxes. We got more taxes with VAT and the result was record deficits. Think about that for a minute, before saying again that increasing taxes is the solution...
