Default Florida - The Sunset State?

Here's a link to an article from Time in July about some of the troubles Florida is having. I thought it might be of interest.

Perhaps a touch of sensationalistic journalism in that article. I moved here from rural central Pa where there is an ever-present but growing migration of youth and brain power out of the state. The economy is awful, worse than the weather and offers little to recent graduates. The manufcturing economy went bust a decade or more ago and huntin& fishing can only support so much. I'm sure Florida has it's problems but moving from the rust belt to TV has been an unbelievably positive experience. Both of my aduly children left Pa. upon graduation from college and never returned.
