I look forward to the Budget Statement, but the Minister of Economy has already said that our economy is outperforming most other countries in the developed world. See https://bernews.com/2025/04/april30video-minister-hayward-press-conference/
BERMUDA IS LIVING ON BORROWED MONEY .
It is mpst unwise to make economic comparisons with outher manufacturing countries we have nothing to fall back on.
“Nooo , man not a ting” !
” Hasty decisions , does not get the chickens to lay more eggs “.
The budged gets read on Friday it is only hours away ,we all will wait a to see if the national debt is included.
Personal debt being loan and mortgages and this countries national debt does not appear to have been considdered in your todays assesment.
Our countries present situatation will appear to be all power to the glory when money is borrowed from the future , of course ,every thing will appear to look good , it is not our money we are living on as we look forward to decades of a very dismal future.
It will not come floating down from the clouds
Many will not live to see the fantacy of your under lying assesment.
How can you pretend to forcast a prosporouse future bases on to days present assesment.
Please do no pretend to lead me up the garden path as there is no yellow brick road to the future.
We spend more of out taxpayers money than we take in.
The defination of debt is borowing money from our childrens future that does not exist when we have people living hear from one day at a time which doubt will change for them any time soon.
‘I grew up where we made bread noy buy it in a shop ‘
To be blunt we are living in a dream world as the price of merchandis continures to increase here.
I recently discovered there is a large item here where the price is up by 300% from that in the USA to day most likely that item is 4 yeard old .
The USA recent escalation on tarifs will affect Bermuda where we loose on the round abouts we we will also loose on the swings.
Nothing wrong with doing things in stages that happenall the time .
” Rome was not built in a day. ”
If we have to live with in our means so must our Government do the same or better !
