Yes, allowing employees and citizens have more say and ownership in the economy is a element of the solution to a better future for our country!

Yes, improving the education system is a element of the solution to a better future for our country!

Yes, improving the home/family environment is a element of the solution to a better future for our country!

Yes, voting out horrible politicians is a element of the solution to a better future for our country!

There simply isn't "one" solution to this problem. Instead, there are multiple solutions (look at the 2nd paragraph in Mr. Johnson's letter, better education, more stability within the home/family, and voting out inept, selfish, corrupt politicians, etc) many of which have been mentioned in the comments above & in Mr. Johnson's letter. The best part is that we don't need to pick just one solution to pursue -- we can select all of them and pursue all of them at the same time. A multi-front attack or approach to help change the course of our countries youth and future!!!

Is there a Circus in town? This is a perfect example of the complete "Clown Show" that is going on within the Government of the Bahamas -- at ALL levels. The complete lack of proper planning, doing prudent due diligence, fiscal responsibility, and then follow-up is utterly incomprehensible.
