No no no. We cant have the evil oba saving us money. The plp says they are all evil and out to get the everyday man. Trevor should have doubled our savings if he was an effective minister. Lol. (Sarcasm for the not so quick)

They dont need to interpret. They r TOLD what to think. Better to be daft and accept whats been said than to have to actually do some work and think for themselves. Much easier to be a sheep apparently

Pure waste by OBA – you talk about millions like it is pennies because it ain’t your money! Moniz was and still is a lost cause and pushed his whining voice into the AG post by unseating Pettingill politically but that ended up biting the entire OBA in the a$$! Well done Trevor!

25 – 11 doesn’t create jobs, shrink the deficit or pay the debt. Maybe it does in Wakanda but not in Bermuda!! Keep drinking de titty milk! Ha ha ha!!

- Q1 GDP contracted
- Employment income is down $16mn year-on-year (would’ve been much more if the PLP didn’t give the civil service blanket raises)
- Six consecutive months of falling retail sales (inc. overseas purchases)
- Business confidence has plummeted
- Real estate market is flat lining again (and yet the PLP want to build more)
- New taxes as promised by the PLP have and will continue to make this worse

Please provide your reports that rebut all those Government published statistics. Be interesting to see the ‘alternative facts’ that you have.

What economic reports are you referencing?

You’re missing the forest for the trees by concentrating on the per unit cost.

The OBA took an unneeded project that cost $36 million, salvaged what they could and brought it down to $25 million, saving the taxpayers $11 million.

Once the PLP made the investment in those pre-fab units in 2012, it was all a sunk cost which should have had no bearing on the OBA government’s decision afterwards on whether to continue the project or not.

Sounds financially responsible for me.

If you believe the recent economic reports suggest a positive future outlook, you have no idea how to interpret economic reports.

Er..no they don’t. All normal indicators show a contraction and a decrease in consumer confidence.

By the time Cox lost the 2012 election the economy was shrinking by 7% a year, the government was spending $400m a year more than it was collecting, and (encouraged by Burch) job creators were leaving the island, taking their companies and jobs with them, weekly. Shops were closing, offices were empty, and Bermudians were unemployed.

Thank goodness someone came into power who stopped wasting money.

The real estate market was in free fall as at 2012. Hence why the PLP’s Grand Atlantic development was another one of their massive failures. What they were trying to charge for those eye sores you could’ve bought, and still can, a single family home with land. At the same time people were losing their jobs hand over fist, so please explain how all these people were going to magically be eligible for mortgages? That is the reason why half of the BHC Board resigned at time, as they were unanimously against the development given the economic climate and was once again overruled by PLP political interference.

And a PLP supporter complaining that other posters are not addressing the message is absolutely priceless and absolutely hypocritical.

And he actually did address about the unused materials. Reading is key.

Ok Mr. Moniz I noticed how you danced around the real question as to why it took 1.2million for EACH home to be built when the estimates were much lower for more units. The whole idea was to present affordable housing to those that could NOT afford the current houses that were on the market. If you were saving us money why it took 3 times the amount to make a unit? And further more sir you have not addressed the wasted materials that were not used. What’s funny is none of these other comments are asking these serious questions, it’s just your regular oba cheerleading squad giving you the pat on the back like you explained something when you DID NOT. Those are the real questions that you have dodged to answer sir. Please answer the questions so we all can get clarity and stop with the verbal gymnastics.

Really? Where did you pull that lie from when the recent economic reports suggest otherwise…what lie are you going to fix up to spew out now?
