I'd greatly like to scale back the whole state of entitlement thing we have going on down here. I know so many people who complain their govt money doesn't get here fast enough. So many people on unemployment who wait 18 month to even START looking for a job. So many people who don't pay rent but have their starbucks and ciggies. So many people making babies who don't have a job, crying about how they can't find $1100 for rent... dude, you're 21 and you have 2 kids, how about you put down the penis, move back in with mom and get an education? And don't get me started on all the foreclosed homes on my block because everyone decided to get rish buying a first (or second) home they couldn't afford. Everyone walking around pissed off that the govt isn't getting them paid fast enough - it's disgusting.
Yes, I know we were hit hard in tourism and construction at the same time, those were huge. But the examples above have nothing to do with that.
So I think Crist will do a so-so job of rolling with the repub party on smaller/govt, smaller handouts... but Rubio will do a pretty good job at it. He'll still swing centrist if he wins - they all do - but this whole welfare thing will start to slow down a bit.
