Todays problems within Florida come from the short sightedness of our leaders. They only are concerned with what will get them elected. While not wanting to agree with "Patriot" I find myself afraid that we have not seen the bottom, that it will get worse, at least in the State of Florida. We do not encourage industry, there is nothing for anyone to do except build condominiums. We already have so many of them they are falling down.

We do not need immigration reform, we need to enforce the immigration laws that are on the books. It's criminal to have unemployed taxpaying Americans out of work because people from other impoverished countries cannot wait their turn for legal immigration processes.
