At least you get roads, hospitals , harbours and such and i was just in nassau and couldn,t believe how sweet the roads were .Yes they were over budget but to say 100 million is not true b/c fuel went up and things were added ..What do we have for the 800 millionj the PLP borrowed so far ,even if 400, million went to HAI debt which it didn,t ,what we got for 400 million ,Urban renewal ,all kinda consular this ,that all over the world ,,money all round for the yes vote .public and private ,,and now we got "webshop casinos " pop up like topsy w/ glassy eyed ,mothers spinnin away the light and lunch money ,,,PGC should have had the stones to pass legislation to regularize and tax the numbers men w/ a vote in the house ,,at least the country would get more revenue ,,,,all the way w/ the PLP

The different things you mention in your last paragragh had to add up to more than a million , what about the South african consultants on gaming ,and Baltron Bethel ,Obie Whilcombe et al off in indonesia and other far flung places 'gaining gaming knowledge for the referenDUM ,,,

tHE parlimentry registry just has the figures for the polling places and voting ,What bout all them PM and MPS all over , the bluff ,barre terre , sims , staniel cay ,,,Nottage messed up and told the true figure.. BJ is getting older and goofed

Thanks i learn more about what Vat is from knowledgable posters than any thing the Gov , tells me.

Good one,Tals is always first whenever any Hubert talks ,,

Tals the blame is not only w/ the single mothers , a great part of the blame falls w/ the absentee fathers,,,

I think btw Banker and i we pointed out enough articles/studies to support my comments. The article by G Morley also talks about consanguinity and higher % of sexual abuse in single mother homes . Tals as i said single mother homes versus two parent homes and child development has been so well researched and documented that to call my comments merely opinions w/ no basis in fact borders on ridiculous ,,

Tals type in ,Illegitimacy in the Bahamas. Theres articles there from the guardian ,feb 20 th 2012 and a very thorough piece by Gina P Morley . In G Morley,s piece read about the effects of illegitimacy .Sure there are always exemptions but by and large children of a single mother w/ 4,5,6 children for different daddies start at a disadvantage ,,

Maybe not studies in the Bahamas but many internationally ,but quite a enlighten book by T Mccartney ..i,m not getting into eastern road ,western road and of course 2 parent households can have bad kids ,but the odds are a lot greater for single moms w / 4 , 5, or 6 kids w/ different dads ,it is so researched to argue it is pure folly .Time will prove me right that unless we a have a cultural shift about sex and responsibility we will make more babies than our economy can provide a reasonable standard of living for.Trying to support our birthrate now through public service jobs has made our tourist product much too expensive .We are only getting 8%of the stopover in our region or 1,35 million,DR got 28% or 4.1 ... Countries w/ an average birth rate of 2 to 3 children where the father is involved have homicide rates btw, 2 to 4 per 100,000 ,us w/ a 75% single mother rate and many daddies not very involved are running a homicide rate of 26 per 100,000 and Jamaica 40 per 100,000/ I ,M talking about what Bill Cosby talks about all the time ,being sexually responsible as much as humanly possible .

Many of the kids say their mothers b/c their fathers are absent .Sure some productive people come from single mother homes but study after study show multiple children of single mothers by different men add to poverty and crime .Jamaica had a deversified economy and made babies faster then their GDP can absorb ,Haiti has very little economy and yet there is 9 million people . I ,M fifty one so i,ll be gone but time will prove me right ,we will have larger and larger ghettos and crime b/c of our irresponsible sexual habits and crying for the government to produce more jobs is useless .We built a big middle class largly through over staffed public corporations that we have to keep borrowing and taxing to pay ,now we our at the tipping point where our products ,both banking and tourism are getting too costly to compete .
