Cox had better control our money!! At the rate we are going, in the foreseeable future, our dollar may need to be devalued as a result of probable IMF interference in our financial affairs. That will happen when (not if, when!) THE PLP Government defaults on its loan payments. And when that happens we are toast!

We cannot survive with the size oF Government that we have now! We are a small town! With huge egos! It must be cut back; the Civil Service is not a make-work program, or a feed-trough, as many in Government view it to be.

How the hell can Bermuda survive with a PLP Government that is bankrupt both fiscally and morally… and uses one credit card to pay back the other credit card. Cuz that – in essence – is what the PLP are doing….

We desperately need a change in Government!! OBA all the way.

Unfortunately for me and many others, to little to late. I also can’t take the chance the the PLP sharks lurking quietly in the deeper waters for now , might decieve us again if the party is re-elected. Once bitten , twice shy.

Soooo…. from all the good news that you have to share (so much of it apparently), the two items you pick are that 1- we’ve been downgraded and 2- we’ve had do sink further into debt.

Thanks Madame Premier. That’s great to hear. Sheesh, even the spin is desperate these days!

Honey – wake up. Your gov screwed us and you shoudl have had what it took to stop your predecessor – you didnt and in fact you keep borowwing more. Please lay out a plan where you THINK you can repay this… You cant and you know it.

Doesn’t the word ‘further’ imply that we’ve seen some spending cuts?

That’s nonsense. They been spending more and more every year for years. They ‘re on the same road as Greece. That ‘s the direction we’re headed. 25% unemployment and a government with no ability to raise or borrow money.

or ya too stinkin greedy and racist?!?!

Just when do they really think that our economy will turn around to the point that they will be able to run a surplus ? I’ll tell you this much , it won’t be for many years. Long after those lenders come knocking for repayment.

Far too many people have no clue how really bad things are for us , most because they do not understand these matters.

But this PLP government is petrified of the austerity measures that MUST come because it’s going to hit a very large part of their support base.

Well too f**’n bad .. We ,the tax payers, are not here to pay for a bloated civil service that thinks ‘Government’ is some sort of nanny . A large part of why this ISLAND is so incredibly expensive is because of our high tax structure.
