Florida netted a gain of 4,000 plus jobs as a result of this recent BRAC process. Maybe there are reasons, but how can you expect others to sacrifice when the President's brother's state gains 4000?

Georgia gained 7,423 jobs. Does the President have a brother in Georgia? Texas lost over 3,000 civilian jobs. The Florida total is 2,757 gain -- not 4,000. In addition, the Florida military gains were offset by a reduction of over 1,000 existing civilian jobs. The far left state of Maryland has almost 10,000 jobs gained. Just who is being rewarded there?

You are trying to make something that went out of the way to be non-partisan and non-political into something that you think is politically motivated. It's just not true. The facts prove otherwise.

Facts.

My God, yes I see Maryland gained about 9000 jobs. I guess I'm smarting from the loss of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard or about -7000 jobs in an area that does not have a lot of DoDs jobs. But you make a good point, no the Defense budget should not be a jobs program, although in DoD contracting there are EEO and Women Owned goals.

Allow me to soften my statement and say, it didn't hurt Florida that Jeb Bush was the Governor.

Facts are a funny things. Thats for your good points.
