Hi, I not saying give up hope and dreams. You have totally miss what I was
saying. This is what I was saying. To clarify what I meant. We as a Country
and As a State ( State of Florida) in this case is facing a short fall in
revenue and things are not going to get funded. Most of the time it is the
little man and the most needed that does with out. The state of Florida
budget is in a short fall of about 3 billion bucks this year. It has had a
total of about 10 billion short fall in all. That is Nothing to just ignore.
Yes lets keep our hope and dreams up and think positive, but lets not run
from the facts and truth at the same time. This is just my thoughts.
Thanks,
Blackjack

Now, how often is it Sir,
that politicians perceive our future in this way?
If they are going to work together on reparation,
seeing as how each have made either earnest promises or,
lying ones?
Seeing as how most people in the world would rather find themselves in any
way but blindness or,
strapped in a wheelchair:
I'd say we certainly are dealing with severe disadvantages, handicaps, or,
disabilities/call it what you will?
The stimulus package,
I feel was made in earnest and,
everyone that didn't tell us what you are telling us,
thought so!
If it takes three hundred years to get, our dreams to come true,
Keep on thinking positive and,
keep on planning people!
