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
We did not get here in the last 2 years ,,its been 40 years of not being able to supply reliable energy at a reasonable cost .Minis and the FNM ordered 95 million dollars worth of new generators , the most ever spent , it takes time for them to be built ,get here ,and be installed .In the mean time you have certain union leaders and their henchmen that know their days r numbered if the FNM gets Shell in , burning and destroying equipment ..
also got prime park avenue apt/condo over looking central park from the Chinese for screwing Sarkis ,,witch got hers too ,,wherever B Bethel sets up corps the property and money go ,,I,m surprised that Baptist church doesn,t burst into flames
there is new construction going on ,,the homes r renting on arbnb ,and yes Bahamians own some of the rental places .We also build them ,maintain them ,fix the ac etc .There are two family islands that do well , Abaco and now Exuma . Eleuthera is starting and Spanish wells is getting more guest ..I took out some Italians that I take out every year , they are now upgrading their home w pool and another cottage for rental ,,local Island guy doing the work .Now its going to cool a bit bc the global and U S economy is cooling , but we have high end guest so the coming recession wont be quite as bad .I would tell u personally which Island I live on ,,not on here I don,t have the time to be accosted by some loud mouth "unemployable " know it all when I,m going to the grocery store.
plenty of tourist dollars go to the fish fry on the family island I live,,one restaurant at fish fry the tourist wait outside its so packed ,, ,,and to an eatery at the eastern end ,,actually we have had one of the best years ever.I have run 140 tours this season , that's money for many locals .The boat owner , me the Capt , the marina for gas and dockage , the guy that supplies the ice to the marina , the sodas and beer , the taxi drivers ,,all Bahamian and all the supply businesses Bahamian owned ,,
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 ,
