RI's economy-

In the pro-jo today...

take a look at how many help wanted ads there are- less than 1/4 of a page. Then look at the foreclosures. Over 9 pages.....

wow.

RI is no doubt bad, but I don't think that this problem is limited to our state. Foreclosures are out of control. Economy is in the toilet. Nationwide.

The Florida housing market has been terrible for several years now.

The housing/mortgage mess is but small part of the overall problems with RI. The mortgagae mess will be over in a month. The housing market will take 2-4 years to recover. But unless the state gets its act together, the last worker out, please shut off the lights.

I think the mortgage mess is going to take a few years to really straighten out.
