HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So Mockingjay, does that bother you at all? If the PLP couldn’t account for that money EVERY YEAR would you say it was incompetence , or maybe something a bit more sinister? I await your response!!

You are what you think , defined by what you say/post . If you happen to be a racist , own it . All I ask is that if you haven’t already , do not pass it (the disease)onto your offspring , you’ll do a great disservice to future generations of kinsman .

I think I was Fiscally waterboarded just watching our debt grow to 2 BILLION.

Oh that’s right, you think everyone who disagrees with you is racist.

someone finish this [first replace "we" with PLP]
have fun ..

Also many countries escaped the recession relatively unscathed.

That bad situation is here.

How about an apology. That would be a good start.

To quote someone to whom the technique was administered: “Unless you have been strapped down to the board, have endured the agonizing feeling of the water overpowering your gag reflex, and then feel your throat open and allow pint after pint of water to involuntarily fill your lungs, you will not know the meaning of the word.”

So excuse me, Mr. Bean, while I sincerely suggest you pick more appropriate language with which to make your allegories. I understand that you prefer to deal in emotive, entirely made-up similes, but perhaps you could try and and be ever so slightly more sensitive?

If a politician in the US were to say use that term, he’d be out of a job in an hour.

If they think the OBA didn’t do anything in their budget (which I tend to agree with), provide some real solutions Bean and Burt. And not your airy fairy ideas – real, actionable solutions that will have a meaningful impact on Bermuda. You can’t.

Bermuda should never have been put in this mess in the first place and now we need to dig ourselves out of it.

If he thinks that increasing taxes during a recession does not produce results and has a negative impact on the economy then I suggest he looks at the measure Ireland put in place in 2010 when their economy had collapsed. EVERYONE in the country sucked it up and got on with it and now the economy is thriving once again. It’s not pretty but for a few years of cut backs and making changes in order to get the country kick started once again then everyone needs to be a part of it. Including the PLP.

This came up as a “related article”. Have a read and a chuckle…or cry…whichever.

Much rather pay more tax and have work, then to see people without work.

Did the PLP even understand half of what Bob said or, far more importantly, DI NOT say ??

You have no clue.

Found ourselves in? Yes, after your party’s government PUT US THERE. Your party couldn’t navigate itself out of a paper bag.

“There are other jurisdictions whereby Bermuda can learn valuable lessons as to the pitfalls of value-added tax”

You didn’t want to hear about the pitfalls of a PPP re the hospital that we could have learned from other jurisdictions. The OBA is EXPLORING the option not running into something that is not adequately researched….like you guys did and for which we will pay dearly for decades.

“For instance, they’re naming different projects in the hospitality industry that’s supposed to inject $930 million into the economy but, outside of the America’s Cup and the Greens’ expansion at Hamilton Princess, the other five or six or maybe seven projects are merely projects on paper.”

That’s 2 more ongoing projects than the PLP have or had. Projects on paper were the PLP’s specialty. Like sea-bed mining or long line fishing.
