But the effects won't be felt by the unemployed for some time. You see, Florida went and borrowed 300 million from the Feds..
Quote:
The result? Florida is now borrowing from the federal government ? a lender hardly flush with money ? to keep close to half a million unemployed Floridians receiving an average of $240 a week for up to 26 weeks. The state will borrow, interest free, $300 million this month and up to $310 million in September.
Beyond that, nobody knows. But it looks unlikely any windfall will appear to revitalize the state fund in the near term.
