Downgrades threaten ‘Bahamian lifestyle’
The Members of this government need to IMMEDIATELY take on the vision of Mr Kerr and all the financial analysts have for the ill fated state of this country's economy ID ADVISE THEY HIRE A MR KERR LIKE CAPABLE CONSULTANT TO TRAVERS THESE TREACHEROUS ROADS AHEAD! . And it begins with greater efficiency in all the branches of government...past performance has shown the Bahamian Goverment needs to get out of the following industry sectors they're currently operating at a substantial loss along with great inefficiencies!
Telecommunications...I.E...since Cable & Wireless took a financial position...BTC has upgraded its network ... modernized its showrooms...improved customer care...physical presentation at the point of sale/ service
Airline...BahamasAir...there's no good reason for this government to be in the airline business...Air Jamaica also resisted the privatization...the economics of a business do not lie...privatize!
BEC...there's not a better example of wasted treasury dollars...Abaco invested $100-Million...on a 1950's fuel equipped system...only a government agency would ever choose a fuel like bunker fuel...after much pressure...agree to diesel! Not LG..where there's a world surplus not to mention environmentally safe and clean burning.
LASTLY..IF THE BAHAMAS INVESTMENT GRADE DROPS TO JUNK STATUS..WHICH HAS A GREATER THAN 50% CHANCE OF OCCURING IN THE NEXT 12- MONTHS...UNLIKE GREECE...WHERE THERE'S A UNION OF COUNTRIES THAT CAN BAND TOGETHER TO BAIL THEM OUT...THIS COUNTRY WILL GO INTO DEFAULT AND BE UNABLE TO PAYITS BASIC BILLS!.........ITS CALLED BANKRUPTCY!

A sensationalist piece, written based on a track well over 24 hours old, not showing the significant weakening and shift in track.
The beauty of a news website is that you can provide UP TO THE MINUTE stories on it, not just regurgitated stuff form the print version that is already stale and useless by the time it hits the presses.
Do your job guys. It's not that hard!!!
