The following extracted comments were reported in the Saint Petersburg Times today. You can believe them or not. Most of you, well it means absolutely nothing to. How ever sad. Many still believing in those who brought this destruction upon them.

On the local scene here is an article "Yes we need jobs but not at any cost, by Dan Dewitt. Hernando Times Staff writer. He speaks of tax breaks to companies who have lost 900 million. He also talks about the high unemployment here and the low wage service jobs that abound along with the flight of industry overseas.

These articles and similar can be read each day in every form of media print, or otherwise, so to say we have not heard it before is well, just not true. So basically just what don't we comprehend? Why do we still believe in these politicians? The answer is totally unbelievable, yes totally.
