Another Obama "Recovery Summer" has come and gone...

But how do they rank in cost of living?

Without knowing that the other information doesn’t mean much.

I work with two guys who are from the Tampa area. They get upset when you call the city Tampa Bay. They tell us that only the NFL team and the water around Tampa are called Tampa Bay.

Convenient report, Charlie Crist will be all over this, just an honest report from the Tampa Times, no agenda here. /s

Well, the Tampa Bay area voted ‘FOR” Bowbama! That’s all that needs to be said.

I heard they had an NFL team too, but after watching the first quarter my nephew and brother in law went outside to watch the storm

As an OWG (Old White Guy) living and working in TampaBay, I can tell you the lifestyle is very good. But we, like the rest of the nation are experiencing the crushing weight of a Federal Government run amok under Community Organizer in Chief BO.

Generally speaking, The middle class is getting wiped out. All the good manufacturing, assembly, small local business is fading quickly. These used to be the source of good paying blue collar jobs. The kind of job that you don't need a college degree but could still feel good about yourself, raise a family, take vacations and even put a little money aside.

In their brain dead ideologically driven heads, Lib-tards are prioritizing “The Poor” (whatever that means) and thus creating an ever expanding and permanent class of do-nothing sheep.

“The Rich” will always be insulated from economic downturns. But the middle class is paycheck to paycheck riding the tide up and down...always hoping tomorrow will be at least as good as today...but having no guarantees.

Bottom line TampaBay will always be Home Sweet Home and a Beautiful place to be...but then I was raised and moved from Flint Michigan in 1974.

Well, your wages are stagnant, but you’re now saving $2,500 a month on your health insurance due to 0bamacare, so you’re ahead of the game. /S /S /S

I should think the large number of retirees in Florida would drag income figures down.

Both Vitner and Brown cited the housing collapse and subsequent mixed recovery...

Whatever you do, don’t blame our Dear Leaders.

And people wonder why the Tampa Bay Rays have the lowest stadium attendance per game in MLB despite only trailing the Yankees in wins over the last ten years in the AL East.
