The Tribune

EDITOR, The Tribune

I watch the BBC, and Al Jazeera networks daily, to get a good understanding of global events, and trends.

With all of the various cultures nation to nation, it became clear to me while watching, like The Bahamas these other nations in Europe, Africa and other places, their concerns are very similar to the concerns of the Bahamian people.

A list of the concerns that other nations share with The Bahamas are:

1. People do not trust their government.

2. People are concerned about the high cost of living.

3. People are concerned about high taxes on the poor.

4. People are concerned about the lack of affordable health care for the poor.

5. Immigration concerns in many nations is front and centre.

6. Most nations are facing fiscal challenges.

Locally I ask the questions, is there a way out of this, do we have the will as a people, and will thirty years from now our children, and grandchildren say about us. Well done?
