Comment on Why Legislators Can’t Ignore Pension Predicaments by Jerry Kay

Your article warns of problems “if the state government’s legislative and executive branches ever came under the control of pro-union forces”. I’ve got news for you; it already happened. Those lavish police pensions in Miami were the result of pension ‘reforms’ for public-safety personnel that were forced on city and county governments by none other than Jeb Bush and his Republican-led legislature over 10 years ago. Those ‘reforms’
were payback for the local police and firefighters unions’ endorsements during an election year. Note that those ‘reforms’ did not apply state employees because their endorsement didn’t count. As a result, they have to settle for an average pension of $18,000/yr. All politics is local ….

As the article touched on, another example of how socialism fails hits much closer to home in Florida, Cuba. Even as Fidel Castro has stepped down, he continues to author a column in Cuba pronouncing Cuba’s supposed nuclear power. Whether or not this power is real or imagined, one thing remains clear. For so many, the outlook in Cuba is grim as the growth of the nation is stunted by its socialist government. Many Floridians would benefit from considering the example of Cuba before joining the Occupy movements.

Comment on “Thrift” Is Not a 4-Letter Word by Dan Calabria

Bill,
I agree with you almost entirely, with one possible exception.
Mitt Romney apparently does not seem to fit the mold with respect to government spending.
The case in point is so-called “Romney Care,” which he promoted and supported, and which was enacted during his term as governor of Massachusetts. Perhaps I misunderstood, but Romney showed no hesistancy in spending public monies in that case, which has been a problem for him in this campaign.
