read carefully what he is saying , Bassett . These Doctors got an education loan from the government and signed a contract that to pay it back they would work for government at a certain rate .When he says they don't see the education loan , of course they don,t see the cash , part of their salary goes to pay back the loan , when he says they don't see the meal money of course they don,t the money goes to the vendor or vouchers to feed them .However that is all part of their pay in the agreement they signed w the government to pay their tuition .

The whole truth is not being told , many of the Doctors got help w their university fees at UWI and in Cuba from the government and signed a contract that upon getting their medical licsense would do so many years in the government hospitals and clinics at a reduced rate of pay to pay back their tuition

Brought those cronies home that had jobs all over the globe in tourism offices doing nothing,, and used that money to expand our tourism product on the internet with firms that know internet marketing , Got us better ad agengies like the one that did the Lenny Kravitz commercial ,instead of the the previous bunch that picked the agency by how big a kick back they can get ..No the FNM is not perfect but compared to the PLP and 500 million walking right out the front door of BOB I will take the FNM ..

actually the turn around in the U S economy started long before 2017 but don,t let your bias and Faux news facts get in the way ..Its been one of the longest economic growth in U S history .Under President Obama the unemployment rate went from about 9% to just over 4% and the market went from about 8 thousand to 22000 .Trumped pulled the biggest middle class tax payer paid for stimulus ever , the tax cuts for the wealthy. and is now running trillion dollar deficets in a "good " economy .The last time deficets were this high was when Bush did the tarp and Obama did the stimulus in the height of the recession . Numbers don't lie after the U S got out of the recession Obama was running half the deficits Trump is . Although the trade war w China might be needed it has basically turned the wealthy farmers into even wealthier framers w taxpayer money while the small farmers are going out of business .Facts don,t bother you ,you cut the cloth to suit your bias ,
