Who operates a business the way our politicians do? They bid on the games, and then come to the public with the foolish talk about not knowing how much the games will cost. Is that really the way we operate in this country?
And of course you will always have the blind party partisan who are so gullible to follow and defend such nonsensical talk.
Is this so called financial secretary really saying that? To boast about this and not have the intelligence to admit that there were a number of VAT zero rated items that also now attracted 10% which I am sure contributed to this "increase".
Yet with all the increase they are collecting off of the backs of Bahamians, as inflation soars, they cannot even give people a break. Slavery still in economic form exists.
So the insurance company submits a contract with prices that are double the cash price? And it magically happens that each insurance company submits the same price?
Sorry but something fishy about that. A visit is a visit and the price should be the same, whether cash or insurance.
Such a scheme disadvantages the consumer, who will reach a lifetime maximum in their coverage before they should, being charged twice the price, had the insurance company just given them the money to pay in cash.
The amount of bandits and terrorists we have in this country is amazing. And none get locked up. Hold the government hostage with strike threats to get your offering from the cookie jar and all of a sudden the gas dealers say everything is normal. And the Snake says they should be rewarded. WOW!
Here comes another spin now. Do these people talk to each other? Laroda was not reporting the actuarial, he was stating that NIB would be increased. The question was clearly directed to him about NIB increase.
Now come the spin from the OM that he was just reporting the actuarial and no NIB tax increase.
Then come the shady Gibson taking about the fund not use as slush fund and the best way to save the fund is to have incremental increase in contributions. Guess so more people like him could get a payoff.
Government needs to get out of the fund and stop borrowing from it. Period!
