Someday I wish to reach their level.

Oh boy Oh boy not even sure where to start so I'll be brief. We are in a crisis because our main industry is tourism so why invest MORE into that industry? It will not work, we may be the closest to Florida but that doesn't mean much when American tourist aren't spending money. Why on earth would you spend money we can't afford to spend on OTHER people besides ourselves? Not like everyone lives in tourists areas or works in that industry, we have to expand our portfolio, and CUT spending. How do you expect to "balance" the budget by spending majority of the money on tourism which everyone isn't going to do, and no way going to provide enough jobs to keep the quality of life up. What about the other islands? What are they going to do? Tourism isn't exactly their main focus. Just leaving them out to hang? Agriculture and fisheries must be dedicated to tourism? WHY? Why not have them farm and catch fish to be sold within the country and have a certain percentage exported to Florida? (since we are so close) and there is a HUGE market for fish and produce in South Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, etc. I really don't know what Perry is thinking.....It has been proven Tourism is not a reliable source of main income, and when the American economy collapses again (which it will always does) then what? We have no backup because we blew it all on tourism. Point is expand the portfolio, cut government spending, and establish our other industries to be more prominent.

whenever you make something illegal its taboo and ends up being more desired, unfortunately. The best thing to do is let Bahamians gamble, charge a permit fee, and a transaction fee for every bet placed at every numbers shop or whatever people think of. Channel that money into treasury and be frugal with the earnings, we are in insane debt and spending money as soon as we get our hands on the money is taking one step forward two steps back. I'm not even sure we should have a lottery thought seeing as we don't have a set tax system which we should really handle to pay for medical insurance, better social security, and a more organized public bus system it's down right horrid.

This is the problem in our country, instead of being proactive we are being reactive which isn't the correct approach. Giving a longer sentence won't change their minds to commit rape, they aren't in a sane mindset to begin with, they're just looking for that instant gratification. 15 - life compared to 60 - life is no difference to criminals to them its do or die. Prison is supposed to be for rehabilitation not a money pit to waste for criminals who are probably never going to change because we do nothing to help them. I understand there's an outrage on the raping spree but where did we go wrong? We should pursue to fix the source not try to give harsher punishments to people who don't even care about other people, if they don't care for other people why would they care about themselves? Lack of empathy are signs of a sociopath. We have to tackle it at the source
