"extravagant"

Snake has obviously told Davis and Halkitis not to worry about the bpda. lol

Just how much hot air can one man possibly hold?!!

Halkitis is forever wagging his tongue about what our incompetent elected officials wish they could do but never about what they can in fact do even if they were willing to try do something good for our nation and its people.

These rating agencies, like Moody's, Standard & Poor's, etc., derive their revenue (fee income) from the lenders whose interests they serve. And it is these lenders, like the IDB et al., that push for our government to tax us more and more so that they in turn are able to lend us more and more.

Already an alarming share of our national budget is devoted to making debt service payments to international lenders who squeeze every dollar that they possibly can out of our nation and in turn out of the hides of Bahamian taxpayers who are over-taxed as it is and struggling daily to make ends meet.

LMAO

All hot air talk and no do.....unkept promise after unkept promise.....nothing but malarkey.

ZZZZZZzzzzzzz.......

Few are more incompetent than Glenys Hanna-Martin. She was a loud-mouthed and scatter brained child throughout her student years at Queen's College and has not changed one bit since those early years of her life. Cruel Davis did the children and the future of our nation a great disservice when he appointed this wretched vixen minister of education

Teaching is one of the most noble callings that there is for those who derive satisfaction from educating others, especially children, and are gifted in their ability to impart knowledge and learning skills, often at great sacrifice to their own financial well-being.

Sadly there is very little nobleness to be found anywhere within our nation's public education system today. The entire system needs to fully revamped from the top right on down, which means reformation to include much less administrative interference from a ministry of education choc-a-bloc full of incompetent and nonproductive bureaucrats, and no teachers' union.

The loads of money currently be sucked out of our public education system by the hoards of nonproductive administrative leeches who accomplish nothing, needs to be re-purposed and re-directed within a reformed system to adequately reward well trained and qualified teachers who understand, appreciate and respect the nobleness of their calling.

Hubert Edwards must be a slow thinker. You would think he would know our government's debt strategy is to increase government's ability to borrow even more by increasing taxes and fees on struggling lower and middle income Bahamians who can least afford to pay more burdensome taxes and fees. That play book has been around for decades now and therefore does not require mention in any national budget.
