Reply #5: Of course they will. I know my state, FLori-duh needs it desperately. [View All]

Crist is doing and saying anything he can to get his hands on that money. AND then the Pukes are up there in D.C. voting against it. You wonder what they are thinking? I know FL still has quite a few pukes representing districts up there, mine included. I blasted my puke rep. I said, you might not like a lot of the spending, but FL is in desperate needs of funds. Our schools, social services, and infrastructure projects are desperate needs. We are about 4 billion short, and who knows how many people's property taxes will be late or not there at all. We are number 2 in home forclosures in the country. It will take years to sell the many homes sitting on the market. I'm wondering if they actually wish a hurricane to come through and wipe some of these home out, so home building crews can be employed again... Then again, most of FL is on Citizens Ins, and a giant claim against the State run Ins would bankrupt the state... (that's another thing, if ins. companies won't cover homes, why doesn't FL open up Citizens ins to cover car ins and life ins country wide? At least then, we could compete on the open market with the other ins companies, probably offer a nice discount, esp to FL residents, and have a fund that makes money, rather than being a tax burden.)
