unfortunately all the 3rd world former british colonies in the west have become economic failures due to everlasting imcompetent governance. we will end up on the doorstep of the IMF, only a matter of time. what an utterly disgusting and depressing thought...
another classic example of a civil servant drunk with power. how the hell has the bahamas deteriorated to this level where the freedom to dress as u like within the law, is under threat? what next? this type of ultra-conservative islamic type mentality is a threat that needs to be challenged.
another waste of money govt entity.. how can such a small country afford a Defence Force for heaven sake.. btw, it should be called what it really is, Bahamas Coast Guard...
you talk about the $140mil thrown at BOB, dont forget the $600mil at Bahamasair plus the additional $100mil just recently for the new planes... talk about wasting money....
BIG government.. a recipe for financial ruin. even the oil rich middle eastern countries like Saudi Arabia understand that cradle to grave socialism does not cut it anymore.. times change and we in this country have to understand that be prepared to adapt...
it might be painful, but this is the kind of thing that has to happen if government debt will ever decrease. somebody has to pay, there is no free lunch.. gov't can't support all these laggards like BPL and Bahamasair..
Moncur is good for laughs but senate appointment? and the fisherman says he will put LI back on the map.. what thinking for a would-be national leader, his concern totally selfish interest. we are in trouble as we have no leaders with plans of substance about anything..
we've been heading in this direction for sometime. looking at the PLP performance that had plenty to do with where we are, and looking at the quality of recent Senate appointments, i don't think there is any reason for hope. we used to laugh at our Caribbean neighbours and how much better we were economically, well look at us now...
doesn't matter what Francis says.. he and his colleagues at the time are going to be villified, tarred and feathered.. brother Wilson has already concluded that the deal was rubbish..
