Oops, I looked all over the editorial page and the article is not there. It is titled: "Congress Jeopardizes Florida's Recovery" by the Government Shutdown. If you have the paper itself read it.
Stupid Miami Herald. There search can't find anything. Here is most of it, I scanned it:

Daniella is a stalwart leader in this community who naturally speaks on behalf of the majority of our citizens. To Daniella, her "special interests" are the people who struggle every day to provide for their families and do not have the time or capacity to effectively petition the government to do the right thing. If you don't have time to pay attention to the various twist and turns of government, follow Daniella. In the public arena, she will always serve as your "true north" without fail.
I don't know who Daniella is, but after reading her column, it's clear that she believes poverty is best addressed through big government spending.
She appears to be ignorant of the 50 years of failed big government spending to eradicate poverty that has instead left us with more poverty than ever. And after five years of Barry's trillion dollar plus deficits, never-ending unemployment benefits, and record numbers of new food stamp recipients, all we have to show for it is a bigger gap between rich and poor.
If Daniella is as smart as you claim she is, she would bring a new approach to addressing poverty to the table, preferably one that doesn't involve redistributing my hard-earned tax money.
Stuart is, in my view, the "ignorant," one, though I would prefer the word " misguided, " if he had not used it - money is surely not always the answer to societal improvement but Daniella specifies programs which have been shown to be pointedly effective - Head Start, Food Stamps, Meals on Wheels, and Medicaid - we do, indeed, need leadership in a misguided Congress, state legislature and governor to meet our community's needs.
I wonder how many of those who are now receiving SNAP for the first time voted for Scott ... Stuart, go back to worshiping Ayn at your living room altar, would you? Spare us your predictable tripe.
We don't quote Fox News on this blog
Fox FAUX NOT news yeah okay!
What was the deleted comment about? It must have been a good one that defeated your argument or you would not have deleted it.
The deleted comments were from FOX news. Studies from Fox news don't belong on Eye On Miami. Go elsewhere. By the way a Fox News Link is a surefire way to get deleted. Link me to the real study and I will see which think tank put it out. I don't go for right wing think tanks.
"Media outlets cherry-picked facts from a recent Health and Human Services report on the Head Start education program to promote the myth that the program is a failure. However, neither the HHS report nor other studies confirm those claims, and reports actually show the program has had a positive impact both early on and later in students' lives."

mediamatters.org is the leftie equivalent of fox news and it is funded by george soros. not an objective source either. I assume the truth is found somewhere in between.
p.s. I am a democrat.
