Are you talking about the same "financial experts" at the MOF who have our country mired in unsustainable national debt and many of us over-burdened with all sorts of taxes and fees we can no longer afford to pay because of soaring food and gasoline prices?
And who are you to condescendingly say the people don't know the facts? Unlike the "financial experts" at the MOF, most people know full well what they can and cannot afford, and right now too many of us are struggling to pay for both food and gasoline.
What a cruel arse! Can't help but wonder who pays for his gasoline when he pulls his vehicle up to the gas pump. And is it 'his' vehicle or a new one the taxpayers were forced to buy for him?
This most cruel and heartless Davis led PLP administration would rather have thousands of poor and suffering Bahamians go without food to eat than do away with all taxes on food and gasoline for at least the next 12 months.
And we never hear the very insensitive and privileged political ruling class seriously talk about 'belt-tightening' measures aimed at reducing the many many millions of dollars of unnecessary and most wasteful government expenditures. They could and should at least start with the outrageous travel costs being incurred by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to accommodate Fwreddy Boy Mitchell's many unnecessary jaunts abroad with his usual entourage of many useless bureaucrats in tow.
Yes indeed, cruel Davis would rather have thousands and thousands of Bahamians, who are now literally impoverished and destitute, go without food to eat so that his government can continue to enjoy windfall tax revenues from exorbitant food and gasoline prices. Truly sad.
The secret pact The Bahamas entered into with Communist Red China over a decade ago is the real reason why the U.S. has not appointed an ambassador to The Bahamas. Apparently U.S. intelligence agencies know all about the pact but the Bahamian people know absolutely nothing about it. The Solomon Islands in the South Pacific recently riled the U.S. by signing a similar pact with Communist Red China.
> “We have committed to generating at least 30 percent of our energy from renewable sources by 2030."
This may be one commitment by Davis that The Bahamas can make good on. But only because of the impending financial collapse of BPL as a result of its inability to produce affordable electricity that can be sold to its customers at a profit necessary to sustain itself going forward.
For many it's not about making the right choices anymore. When you have little or no money there are no choices to be made. And the very poor people of the Englerston constituency will continue to suffer a most miserable existence as long as they keeping re-electing Hanna-Martin to represent them.
Sears is so full of it. He knows full well there isn't a single appointment to the board of a government controlled enterprise that does not require the stamp of approval of the leadership of the governing political party. And once appointed, these directors of government controlled enterprises know only too well that they are beholden to those who appointed them. This is the very root of all the political interference we so often see in the decision making of the boards of government controlled enterprises.
