You guys ever sat down and thought about the fact that there will be 5000+ new graduates coming out of school some already graduated with more graduations by next week..where are these kids going to work?? Im afraid at the numbers.. I doubt there are jobs out there for all of them...I think if they don't have anything to do crime will be on the rise once again!

its the real thing proud. this government is a disappotament to all of us bahamians.

its the real thing proud. this government is a disappotament to all of us bahamians.

i am not following your way of thinking, both governments cants grow the economy by 5,000 plus jobs per year. its impossible especially for a country like bahamas.

it could be possible if bahamians were willing to farm so there would be an abundance of pinapple, mango, lime, orange, chicken, peas, farms and what ever can grown in bahamas climate.

only so many hoteilers will find the bahamas appealing

Unless it is confiscating so much money via taxes from businesses that they stop investing because of it,how can you accuse any administration or government for a poor economic climate?

This economy has nothing to do with PLP,FNM or George Bush.It has to do with many factors but no political figure or party could have stopped it.:hammer:

BTW.....If u think any amount of public spending,in the way of government jobs or programs will help,you are dead wrong.Our government is totally top heavy with jobs and spending as it is.

I have to agree with you on a similar level...in fact I just had this conversation with someone. One of the problems that young Bahamians have is that they are being raised to feel entitled.

There is the mentality of sitting around and waiting for a 'government job' or wanting to go into a company at a comfortable position without having to work their way up. If you try hire a young person these days to be a janitor etc, half of them would cuss you like no tomorrow. Whats worse is that alot of them can't get into college or simply aren't interested, and lets not talk about the ones that go to college and come back thinking that they are the best thing to ever hit the Bahamas.

I know the employment situation may seem dismal at in the Bahamas at the moment, but there are many honest ways to make an income. All it takes is a willingness and humility.

the plp and fnm may not have anything to do with the down turn of this economy, but all of what you see happening with the economy world wide is 8 years of really biggety and bad decision of 1 man...go figure.

It's called too many people having too many children. Our kids need to be educated about not only sex but the long term prospect of nurturing, loving, educating and caring for the children they have. And the cost of raising kids!!

Teenagers having having kids for men so the men will look after them - Come on girls we can do better than that!!

This is not scary it is terrifying.

It is a scary thought.When we here about business being closed or persons being layed of, and hotel workers on 3 or 4 days, 5,000 students is no joke. The governments responsibility is to create a climate that is investor friendly to ensure that there are opportunites for Bahamians.I hope that the contracts that have been suspended or reviewed by the government can commence as soon as possible a in order to give our economy a much needed boost.

A Modest Proposal



For Preventing The Children of Poor People in the Bahamas
From Being Aburden to Their Parents or Country, and
For Making Them Beneficial to The Public



It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with junglists, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants: who as they grow up either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country to fight for the Almighty Dollar, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes.

I think it is agreed by all parties that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom a very great additional grievance; and, therefore, whoever could find out a fair, cheap, and easy method of making these children sound, useful members of the commonwealth, would deserve so well of the public as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation.

But my intention is very far from being confined to provide only for the children of professed junglists; it is of a much greater extent, and shall take in the whole number of infants at a certain age who are born of parents in effect as little able to support them as those who demand our charity in the streets.



As to my own part, having turned my thoughts for many years upon this important subject, and maturely weighed the several schemes of other projectors, I have always found them grossly mistaken in the computation. It is true, a child just dropped from its dam may be supported by her milk for a solar year, with little other nourishment; at most not above the value of twenty dollars., which the mother may certainly get, or the value in scraps, by her lawful occupation of begging; and it is exactly at one year old that I propose to provide for them in such a manner as instead of being a charge upon their parents or the parish, or wanting food and raiment for the rest of their lives, they shall on the contrary contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing, of many thousands.

There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas! too frequent among us! sacrificing the poor innocent babes I doubt more to avoid the expense than the shame, which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman breast.

The number of souls in this kingdom being usually reckoned 330,000, of these I calculate there may be about 75,000 women who are breeders; from which number I subtract twenty thousand couples who are able to maintain their own children, although I apprehend there cannot be so many, under the present distresses of the kingdom; but this being granted, there will remain an 55,000 breeders. I again subtract 5 thousand for those women who miscarry, or whose children die by accident or disease within the year. There only remains fifty thousand children of poor parents annually born. The question therefore is, how this number shall be reared and provided for, which, as I have already said, under the present situation of affairs, is utterly impossible by all the methods hitherto proposed. For we can neither employ them in handicraft or agriculture; we neither build houses (I mean in the country) nor cultivate land: they can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing, till they arrive at six years old, except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier, during which time, they can however be properly looked upon only as probationers.

I am assured by our merchants, that a boy or a girl before twelve years old is no salable commodity; and even when they come to this age they will not yield above fifty dollars; which cannot turn to account either to the parents or kingdom, the charge of nutriment and rags having been at least four times that value.

I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.

What is "the book"? Where is this job fair and seminar going to be held? What is the date of this message?

The law of balance will come to play .some will die, some will live some, will work some wont work, some will be come business persons, some will work for these business persons, some will steal, some will become police men an women .
Some will fish, some will farm some, will become house wifes some wont, some will turn to shady deeds, some will preach and teach.
But the beauty of it is some will die .
Thats the law of balance some will die so that some will live .
