Re: Govt spending $105m US to prepare for the world

as the saying goes; without vision the people perish...

now is it any wonder the Jamaican economy is in the shape that its in when a such an incompetent and thoughtless person is at the helm?
he should be trying to secure a profit to help the country, not to be squandering the already badly managed taxpayers' funds?

sabina park wil continue to be maitained..i suspect that the greenfield stadium wil soon be neglected

i dont begrudge any spending on road imporvements since all ciizens will benefit.

none of us begrudge any crumbs dat happen to benefit the majority...and even then, i worry re the impact of the excalating oil situation on Ja....there is no oil shortage,juss a fight of political wills right now, and if North America has to increase their buying from North American sources u can imagine how we will be priced out of the oil game as profits will out each and every time....humanitarianism and shoving it to the US ala Venzuela will not stand up to the massive possible profits to be gained from the jockeying for available supply...the possibilities of how all this will play out r many and i am jaded enuff to expek the worse case scenario

good road naw mean a ting if u bak to donkey an cart not to mention dat average man gwine to be last in line behind JUTA, etc etc wen supply being divided out

a little frivolous the spending of US$105m on a few roads, dont you find? especially given the dire need of funding that the public schools and hospitals need. no?
