We bahamians live in a fantasy world.. the people are broke , bankrupt.. how you think you gonna get paid? i know what the plan is most likely.. govt, you pay us.
nothing allocated.. one of the tricks to present a balanced budget then when you miss, you say thus and that came up and was inexpecyed when it was always known.
i'm always amazed when govt offers handouts left, right and center but never say where the money will come from. even more amazing, nobody asks how it will be funded. lastly, dont these people have a Union? i guess election next year.
guarantee this will be abused to the max as more days off work. we need to be careful following all these 1st world and UN driven initiatives. most of those countries have high taxes to fund these things.. do we want that?
the election date mystery is indeed nonsense. running a country is serious business and it shouldn't be like guessing the winning lotto numbers. if you do your job and govern responsibly, why do you have to guess the best date to have an election? elections should also be held on Saturday or Sunday. why all that lost productivity and cost to Employers just to vote?
i mean it seem to me money might be better spent on parking and controlling planes.. every holiday i travel the pilot apologizing for flying round in circles then while we waiting after landing to park, saying they waiting for a gate.
despite all the banter about how great things are, reality appears to be sonething different...defence force boats need repair, fire trucks not working, bahamasair planes need parts bpl renting generators, no licence plates and the list goes on. seems we may be hanging our hat too high.
"competition is the best price control" they shoukd make this man Prime Minister. Socialism is a failure as an economic policy but we are stuck with this idea that government has to control everythimg.
its shocking how govt entities, none of which are profitable, keep finding money for generous contracts, some egregiously so. i hope people know where that money will come from, us, the taxpayers
