Where do you get your facts .Cuba is changing rapidly under Raul .I know I go there and my partner in work has a daughter there .The Cuban resorts now have special discounted rates for Cubans to come stay in the resorts in the slow months .Cubans can now own resturaunts etc They can also rent their rooms/homes to tourist and had the largest sign up ever on ABNB when the US travel embargo was eased . It is not perfect but the start toward capitalism is changing things .Google is there working on IT infrastructure .Cubans in Miami are sending money for their relatives to fix up their places for ABNB ,,Home away etc ..As a Bahamian that has been going there since the eighties ,,we in the Bahamas better step up our game ..The service in Cuba is excellent ,they have 4000 Keys/Cays ,beaches like ours ,mountains ,,culture ..Don,t let your right wing ideology cloud your judgement .Cuba has been doing 3 million stopover tourist a year w/ out the US market ,the Bahamas only does 1.3 million stopover w/ the US market .

I am neither FNM or PLP ,,Ingraham got things done that's what I like .He did when he was a PLP and Pindling intrusted him to do NIB ..He did as PM . The roads were started under Christie but IDB pulled the loan b/c Bethel trucking was incapable , they could never finalize the deal to start the airport b/c Bradley Roberts wanted a large payout from VSR as the approved food vender , when even Bahamians were eating from food ladies in the parking lot b/c the food at Café in the sky under Roberts basically was not eatable . Ingraham came in cut through the BS got the IDB and VSR back on board and got the airport and roads done ,Visible ,touchable structures don,t lie ,,. Was he perfect ,hell no but compared to the lastt five years I will take Papa any day.. Ingraham got things done plain and simple

Its customary under the Westminster system ,which we are , for a leader to step down after his party is defeated, as the UK leader did after Brexit etc .It is also customary for the opposition through the PAC committee to see all the books , remember Urban renewal or the quarter billion that walked out the front door of BOB, do you think PAC really sees the books ,,HAI was a lot of things ,some good some bad but for the billion he put on the debt during a recession,Kensian economics, we got a lot to show ,,400 million alone in the new airport ,roads ports etc .He also cut Watson loose before the BEC bribery scandal was even public .I,m sorry but for the 1.6 billion and climbing the PLP added to the debt and that's w/ 800 million in new revenue from VAT ,,I want more than some over priced buildings in Andros for 30 kids to learn farming and 4000 more civil servants ,and a drunken money loser called Carnival that I don,t think has put 20 tourist in hotel rooms

When we used to run the alcohol during prohibition , or the drugs in the eighties one of the refrain was , we wouldn,t do it if the Americans did not want it ..We want the guns and its us bringing them in,,

Are you aware of one of the Bahamian partners at KPMG and who he is related to ??

He was head of a crime family in New York ,,And he would walk around in his PJ,s and mumble .His lawyer would argue he was mentally incapable of being a crime boss

there is a video birdie ,,its like trump saying he never mocked a handicapped reporter when he did it on national TV,,Maybe you like looting of the treasury through BOB ,just like the old Development bank ,but I work too hard to pay my share of taxes .When I paid my NIB last month it too every fiber of my being knowing it will be suck out to BOB so they can loot some more ,,Every time they suck every last penny out of BOB.. NIB or the treasury fill it back up ..Third world criminals ,,Nothing more nothing less

We sell the country to the Haitians ,,the old PLP generals all had permits for 20 to 30 indenture servants that had to kick back to them ,Shit Frank Hanna build an empire on the backs of Haitians w/ permits ,,they cleaned banks ,airports businesses and would not steal or their permit was yanked ..Couple of dollars and anyone can get there indentured servant straight ..Funny though they worked hard ,now are the carpenter ,the mason ,the corner shop owner ,
