From Eric Dondero:
Something don't jive with recently released Federal SNAP statistics for the State of Florida. Seems the employment situation is improving slightly, yet there's been a huge increase in Floridians receiving taxpayer subsidized food and beverages.
The Orlando Sentinel reports, "Food stamp use further increases":
The number of people on food stamps continued to grow in 2012 in South Florida and the state as a whole despite a falling unemployment rate and a recovering economy, according to Florida records.
Some of the increase might stem from fraud: A study released this week by the state found a 7.5 percent rate of fraud, waste and abuse in Florida’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. More than $100 million in fiscal year 2010–11 could have potentially been lost to fraud, waste and abuse, according to the report.
Editor's comment - Oh, some of the increase is due to fraud. Well now, that makes it all better.

The economy isn't improving anywhere. It's all bullshit numbers and investors are relying on this illusion and group think to perform a classic "Pump and Dump"
2014 is going to suck my friends. The GOP should clean up if they can stay out of the way of their own stupid... I give them a 50/50 shot at best :-)
