Reader Spotlight: Florida Economy Experiencing 'Upward Blip'

A recent article asked if users thought that the economy in Florida was on the ups. 

Readers shared opinions on both sides of the question, but George Carlson wrote,

"The Economy is going through a upward blip that started just over a year ago. This is similar to the conditions of the mid 1930s. As of now we are in the 'Eye of the storm.' This eye will pass before summer's end and the downward cycle of the great storm will continue for several more years. Yes, the banks will fail again, stocks will plummet below the 6000 mark and many houses will be foreclosed."
