We pressed the Prime Minister on that point of whether it is responsible to move forward into the future with an ever growing debt:...
Jules Vasquez - Reporter
"If you could speak more specifically about the concept of irresponsibility, that it is irresponsible to leave a debt hemorrhaging and accumulating interest. Inevitably, the bank, operating as all banks do, must eventually get their pound of flesh. There is a debt and at some point it must be paid; it is owed."
Rt. Hon Dean Barrow
"But why do you insist that it is a debt that must be paid. I am telling you, history is replete with debts that have not been paid, that have never been paid. If parliament were to vote not to pay this debt parliament could never be accused of being irresponsible. On the contrary, there are those who would wish to crown parliament with laurel wreaths."
