The PM is making an attempt at a short term stimulus for the economy, and he should be congratulated for his efforts.
Now he needs to do some "heavy lifting" for long-term, sustainable, economic growth and step up to the plate to begin the process of reversing 30 years of damage inflicted on our country and people by the asinine stupidity of Dumb and Dumber, who allowed literally 10's of 1000's of low skilled blue-collar ex-pat workers to put Bahamians in unemployment and soup kitchen lines because they were too damn ignorant to educate our people and grow the economy commensurate with population growth.
These ex-pats are from countries with drastically lower standards of living than the Bahamas, never in their wildest dreams ever thought they would live in modern houses or ever drive a car, much less own one. And here they are in the Bahamas living the Bahamian dream that our parents and grandparents toiled for, for future generations.
Time to stop the stupidity, put our people back to work and rebuild our commercial banking sector!
When is the government going to stop shuffling around and immediately put a training program in place to train our people to replace 1000,s of Filipino and Latino domestic workers?
These people's hard currency foreign remittances and lack of spending locally are a major drain on the economy and is destroying the commercial banking sector!
Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary solutions. Get rid of all none essential ex-pats and put our people back to work.
The Chinese have already unquestionably established with the Sarkis Izmarillian Baha Mar fiasco that they are as trustworthy as rattlesnakes.
Successive governments of the Bahamas have NEVER served or had the interest and needs of the Bahamian people at heart, transparency, and accountability is just another bad joke politicians "talk" about as opposition parties and buries immediately upon gaining power.
The only "key principles" the PLP and FNM have are collaborative corruption and self-service!
Meanwhile, they failed to educate our people, then labeled the people as "D" average dummies as justification to give all their jobs to Haitians, Filipinos, and Latinos.
Our country will never progress with PLP or FNM leadership. Expecting them to rescue us from the failed position **" they lead us to"**, is like trying to extinguish a fire by throwing gas on it!
Near absolute gridlock with Customs clearance for courier packages and incoming freight. To add insult to injury, Customs officers are having a wonderful time using the badly broken system to find more ways of denying entries for petty, nonsensical reasons!
At the end of the day, there is no indication the click2clear system will have any impact on the 40%+ pilferage and leakage by Customs officers. So the whole thing is a useless, non-starter from the very beginning.
The public paid for yet more red tape in a system that was already a pain to deal with. Which genius suggested this was a good idea in the first place??
The Haitian flag was raised in the Bahamas years ago when then prime minister Hubert Alexander Ingraham told Bahamians they should learn Creol and Perry Christie told Haitians he was "one of them" and hoped to see a Haitian prime minister here!
Ingraham and Christie maybe "hero's" to Haitians, but they are traitors to Bahamians and need to be recognized as such.
Astonishing that Brave did not consider himself and his political colleagues "incredibly selfish and unpatriotic to watch and do nothing" as Perry Christie's administration through sheer incompetence drove this country over a fiscal cliff with 5 successive downgrades!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The government needs to stop trying to fool us with this charade.
The Haitian invasion will stop immediately as soon as the demand is cut off. When illegals cannot find housing and work, they won't have reason to come here!
Since the treasury is broke due to hurricane Dorian, now is the perfect time for the government to earnestly start charging people for hiring illegals. This would be a huge cash cow for the treasury.
Blah, blah, blah, blah. The Dominicans will get a tongue lashing, a sissy slap on the wrists from some Bahamian judge, sent back home and they will be back in few days doing the same thing again!
The Bahamas has perfected asinine stupidity beyond any imagination.
They will look after the country by seeking out some of the 1000's of like-minded, honest and patriotic Bahamians who would love play integral roles in rooting out corruption!
