If Florida can have a balanced budget why can’t every state? Why can’t the government? There is certainly lots of waste in medicare and medicaid. I am all for trimming the fat. If the numbers are correct, and 50 percent of the population is on the receiving end, then something is WRONG. Social security was a pyramid scheme and should have been adjusted for life expectancy. Why do you think they picked 65 as retirement? Most people did not live long enough to see it!
