Whilst what you say is true, Really, it is not new. That has been the case for over 40 years.

Taxes are up, debt is up, Bermuda and the PLP are failures…but you already knew that.

I know this is difficult for you, and your people…maybe there’s a child in the neighborhood who could explain it to you?

Did you respond to the wrong post?
Did you confuse yourself?

The OBA isn’t the government…you sound like trump…you must be a racist as well.

Or a coupon that could only be spent on pens, paper, and books. Imagine the reaction though. A lot of people would throw them away, seeing no use for them.

Notice how the plp, and its supporters, are racist, homophobic and xenophobic?

Meanwhile public school teachers’ fund their classrooms, fund the supplies needed to deliver the government’s curriculum, fund their professional learning to advance their practice….and the list goes on and on.

Anything for votes, a failing Government, an abysmal education system, now you’re giving us our hard earned tax money back so that you can be seen to be doing something good? You all just haven’t a clue.
Nuff said.

Funny thing is it’s the children that will feel the full impact of Bermudas dept, so while $150 is a good gesture and welcome the big picture is of more concern. It’s a good time to be old, not so great to be young.

While the whole idea is wrong, since Burt has set it in motion, the money should not be cash, it should be a coupon redeemable for uniforms only. Cash can be used for so many other purposes such as food, drugs, gas, or whatever. A lot of needy children will never see the uniforms. Simple facts.

Trinkets for all!!

(Well, not ALL, only those who don’t already have to pay for school).

Thanks Trinket Man – I’m sure these kids will be repaying this trinket of a loan when they are older. With interest.

This is all very nice and no doubt there are families having a hard time with finances but THIS is a badly thought out idea. Govt is now just giving money away. It’s a clever move by a PLP Govt that has no ideas on how to turn the economy around but at least at the next election, voters will remember that they got $150. Bad and cynical. Christ.

Nice gesture but Unfortunately that’s what socialist government is all about. Tax you more then give you handouts that you technically already paid for when all you have to do is save the $150 yourself. A people’s government will take more from you and put you on welfare instead of empowering you to make better for yourself.

$150 for parents who pay no direct fee for their children in the failing government education system: absolutely nothing for those parents who scrimp and save to pay the fees to give their children a good education in the private school system. Blurt logic.

With the misappropriation of free money that we don’t have in mind, how is the recovery of all that money handed out to working people during the pandemic going?

Not a word has been heard.

Something else that the gonna Government was gonna do but has not done anything.

A failed government still going further in debt, will perceive its sheep by giving them money they don’t have to give. WAKE UP BERMUDA.

Nothing less than vote buying. Not even means tested, so the Premier can collect several hundred dollars
