New Article Teaser (F-35)

Unemployment was reported in the local news outlets this week to be at 12% for the State of Florida, although in reality if you factor in those who have stopped looking for work, it is more like 20%. How defense spending cuts have affected our economy, and what the voters will need to do to end the defense cuts that weaken our economy as well as the security of our nation will be the focus of the series that I am currently working on. I have been talking to my very knowledgeable aviation geeks as well as people who currently work for defense contractors and those who have already lost their jobs, and hopefully we will be able to put together the pieces and get a clearer view of what has transpired, who orchestrated it and why. If any of the readers were involved with the F-35 project, or have lost employment due to defense budget cuts related to this project, please contact me because I would like to hear your story. I think when the readers find out the number of Floridians that have been affected by this action, as well as the many other Americans affected on a national level job wise as well as security wise, it will surely anger and concern you.
