I think it is a fascinating concept to keep people at a standard of living they can not afford. Its the old story, if you teach a person how to farm, they can provide for their own food. Save the time, brain damage and money for an initiative that improves the economic environment structurally and sustained. To plan ahead was never a Pirate's forte.
1. its obvious that more money was spent than budgeted, else we would have seen the numbers on the first day after the event. 2. It is impossible to calculate the financial impact on the economy , are you asking the vendor how many orders of sheep tongue soup he sold to non-Bahamians? Only indicator would be clear spike in inbound air travel and hotel bookings during that period. 3. Major knew that, PGM knew that, you and I know it. Who cares? Seems people had fun and the friends of the friends made money (or not). Next year will be bigger, better. So lets move on. This country has other issues to resolve.
