Oops! The word "class" should immediately follow the word "ruling" in second paragraph of my post.

"is" should read "isn't"

The alphabet agency idiots want us to blow ourselves up with a 'K'rptonite digital economy, as if government corruption alone is doing a good enough job at deep-sixing our nation. LMAO

This outrageous fee gouging of the Bahamian people is part of a most disgusting quid pro quo arrangement allowed by our corrupt and incompetent politicians, both FNM and PLP alike.

For decades successive governments have permitted the commercial banks to rip-off the Bahamian public in exchange for these banks granting credit facilities to our corrupt governments and members of our elitist political ruling that they might not otherwise have obtained.

And cruel Davis is certainly not about to put an end to this decades old most disgusting quid pro quo arrangement that allows the Bahamian people to be royally bilked.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........Nothing but typical IDB bullshiit here as they go about keeping our small nation mired in unsustainable national debt by putting their very corrupt lending tit to the forever hard sucking greedy lips of our corrupt governments.

> Dr Dirk Bienen, an international consultant who played a key role in crafting the first-ever National Trade Policy, said The Bahamas is “in a special situation” due to its high vulnerability to natural disasters and economic shocks, a trade specialist said yesterday, with imported goods ten times’ higher than exports.

Someone please remind Dirk Bienen that The Bahamas is **mainly** "in a special situation" because of decades of mismanagement, waste, fraud and outright theft attributable to successive grossly incompetent governments led by corrupt, greedy, self-absorbed, and self-interested, elitist politicians of both the PLP and FNM persuasion.

> The Opposition’s leader last night said it would be illegal for the Government to directly subsidise Bahamas Power & Light’s (BPL) fuel costs after a Cabinet minister reiterated this is the only way to prevent higher electricity costs.

We can only assume Pintard has conveniently forgotten that the government assumed over $$550 million of BEC's debt around the time BPL came into the picture as the successor to BEC. And that $550 million plus capitalized and accrued interest remains a debt of our nation given that the government has guaranteed its repayment.

Don't be so easily fooled by Halkitis. He's trying to use reverse psychology here. Cruel Davis and his Chinese Communist Party friends very much want The Bahamas to join the WTO.

Small nations have no voice against large nations in the WTO. The large nations wrote the rules of the WTO to favour themselves and exploit small nations.

Unlike the Sri Lankans, Bahamians are just too docile to take back their country from a corrupt government. And the illegal Haitian nationals who are in the process of taking over our country (with the help of the corrupt PLP government led by cruel Davis) know this better than anyone.
