What i find more disturbing is how very few Bahamians seem to realize that we have already taken two serious blows to our economy, and yet we have not learned that we need to redirect the little financial resources we have, to seriously diversifying our economy. Clearly we have forgotten what happens to our tourism product after 9/11, and again with the most recent recession. At this point, ANY Government that is not focused on diversifying our economy, and continues to invest countless millions in tourism, is a detriment to our country. We have already received 2 strikes to our tourism based economy, and it scares me to see what will happen to us if there is a 3rd one. I have head the DNA speak about diversifying our economy, but unfortunately, that party does not have the support of the masses. I have yet to hear the FNM and PLP leaders speak about this very pressing issue. No longer can we depend solely on Tourism and Banking. Truly in my opinion, both Mr. Ingraham and Christie are not capable of taking this country any further than they have.
Ummmmmmm, does it matter to anyone how the PM can find the millions to invest in his constituency, undoubtedly assuring his re-election, but lousy MP's like Alvin Smith for instance, did absolutely nothing for Eleuthera?
