		<description><![CDATA[Cornell needs to acknowledge the fact that the recession in the USA and Bermuda were very different.  The recession was not global and did not affect every country. The USA&#039;s neighbours to the North - Canada continued to do very well at the same time the USA was suffering. 

The PLP and their policies was the reason why MANY companies picked up and left or moved parts of their companies overseas.  They did not close their doors due to lack of business, they left and took the jobs with them to other jurisdictions. In addition to that, the PLP wasted money, overspent, and borrowed! 

Most people also know that the unemployment figures during the PLPs final years should have been much higher. However, they hid the harsh reality by simply hiring approximately 1,000 people into the Civil Service.  That in turn increased the Governments payroll and put us further into debt.

Name one construction project that was not awarded to someone directly associated with the PLP. Berkeley, DLME Bldg, TCD, Bda Emissions, Port Royal, Cruise Ship Peir, Of those projects and any others you can think of - how many did not go MILLIONS of $$$ overbudget.

There you have it Cordel and company - a condensed version of why we are suffering today.  Spend, borrow and blame. ZERO Accountability.]]></description>
