Way to go Mr. Lloyd, collect every dime! There is absolutely no excuse for students not to repay those loans. The government was very lenient in the past. I remember when I first returned home from college, I was paying $25 per week to repay my student loan. They accepted that because I was only initially able to secure a part time job. Once I started working in my field of study, I was able to increase my monthly payments and repay the entire loan within 2 years.
We need to stop believing that the government owes us everything. If you borrowed the money, whether its for a student loan or a mortgage, you signed an agreement in good faith, so you are obligated to pay it back. It's that simple!
Seems like you all are on the same page with your comments, so tell me why yinna got mad when Former MP Richard Lightbourne told yinna to stop having a bunch of chirren you can't take care of?
Based on what you all are saying, then seems like he was correct in his statement.
Yup, that's pretty much the attitude @DDK! You need to see some of those desks! It's a disgrace. I will add though, in addition to the employees playing a role in keeping the surroundings clean, the government must ensure that the buildings get, at minimum, quarterly checks. The AC system is a major generator of mold and should be checked quarterly especially in our warm climate.
Lawd what a time in Bahamaland! The man says he has 20 children! @Sickened, I am with you......."I can only shake my head, then laugh, then sigh!". ........and then LAUGH again!
Based on his statement, I think he meant that the criminal part of rape did not fall under his portfolio. We have become such a weak society!
**You’re talking about crime prevention,” Mr Campbell said when pressed further. “Social services is about poor people who need food, people who need social assistance. Let’s talk about that.“You could see I’m trying to avoid that, I don’t avoid talking to you but I want to stay in my lane,” he added**.
@hrysippus, you have said it so well. This is why I dislike unions and their leaders. They defend their members and the nonsense that they do. Meanwhile, no one wants to take responsibility for the poor shape our country is in. We the PEOPLE have done this to ourselves.....we have stolen from, lied to and cheated ourselves for many years and felt that this was acceptable. How else can the government make up for all these shortfalls? We have to be taxed (VAT), charged for services like healthcare and squeezed for every minimum wage dollar that we make.
