They have NO intention of paying down the debt. With this slippery P.M. you have to listen closely, he has a forked tongue just like a snake in the grass. You see him touting the reduced deficit (which fools like birdie will eat up), yet he say nothing about the fact that the only reason the deficit is reduced is because he has raised taxes. The reduced deficit is still a deficit and therefore we are still going deeper into debt. So to make this simple for the slow out there, all the man is saying is, "I raised taxes on you and that has reduced the amount I must borrow", that is all he is saying. He has NOT cut spending, he is not fiscally prudent, and the country IS still going DEEPER into debt.

Perry is the Putin of the west indies. Kleptocrat to the bone. Meanwhile, undereducated and docile Bahamians grin and shuffle to the economic slaughterhouse.

Also this reduction in deficit has nothing to do with government cutting spending or being fiscally prudent. This reduction of the deficit is only brought about by the government increasing taxes. vat, you say, yep VAT. So government and Mr PM need to shut up and sit down, this reduction is because government is stealing a greater portion of what you and I work so hard to make.

And who do you think will be appointed to the board, same old croneys. The political elite are killing this country with their greed and corrupt practices. Not long until this country is ruled by a very few, just like Haiti.

It is good that they have decreased the deficit. The sad fact we are still going deeper into debt. to the tune of 300 million dollars a year. This is nothing to be proud of, they are still digging the hole. I will applaud when the stop digging the hole of debt we are being swallowed by. If the Bahamas was a business, we would have closed our doors long ago and laid everyone off, nothing to be proud of Mr. P.M., nothing at all.

But, but, they believe in Bahamians. I also saw a chickcharny last time I was in Andros.

Now it all becomes clear. 51% to government which means they will make sure "the boys" get their cut. If Cable Bahamas was smart they would run. Who would invest the amounts needed to make this work and then just give Government 51% which is a controlling interest? The slimy, corrupt, greedy, politician is not someone to get into business with, beware! Anyone that would trust ANY government of the Bahamas is a walking, talking, FOOL! Cheaper to get in bed with the devil!

Yes, yes, and there is no corruption in The Bahamas. Pigs fly as well.

I truly believe that we would be better off if we NEVER gained independence, we just where not and are not mature enough. That goes 10 times for our politicians!

Cable will not get the licence for the simple fact that their shares are already spoken for by their shareholders. The problem with this is that "the boys" would have no way of getting their grubby hands on the majority stake. The public knows who looks out for who.
