Is it too much to ask for an honest, frugal, transparent, ethical, efficient, and most of all responsive to the people government?

The House and Senate are divided over whether to expand health care coverage to 800,000 Floridians, with both chambers opposed to the idea.

If both chambers are opposed then they aren't divided, are they?

Government mismanagement again.

The people in government spend like arrogant drunken lottery winners.

Save on taxes. Spend as little as possible. Choke the monster.
