I cant believe he is going to try to do this to the elderly and the schools here, either.
1. What does high speed rail have to do with elderly and schools?
2. It's federally funded...
3. tourism is Florida's #1 business. I-4 is a mess... This will bring jobs to the state. it is a win-win.
It is. He'll end up having to raise taxes eventually. If not him, then his successor will.
you pro-tax people always say that. florida has no state tax, and they managed fine under Jeb Bush. Florida's tourism will get going again with all the baby boomers retiring soon. People are ready to spend their money on some fun in the sun... Florida will be ok.
How obtuse is it for people that live in another state to tout their Governor in a thread about Floridas governor, just because they are both of the same party?
Its not a one-size-fits-all kind of approach.
And what does Christie have to do with Scott? Comparing the 2 is rather disingenuous, to say the least.
At least Christie has experience holding public office, Scott does not.
I still wish Christ hadnt deserted his post. -sigh-
so now you're a Crist supporter? that guy has less character than John Kerry and Bart Stupak.
And? Why does the government have to create jobs? People whine over federal and state employees. Their pensions are to great. They don't work their full hours, blah, blah, blah. So why should the government create jobs?
You realize, of course, the jobs are funded by tax payers? What happens to those jobs, when there is no more tax payer money?
The states with the highest state employees, are the ones doing poorly right now. The federal government with all its federal employees and look at the state of it.
How about we do something novel? Let the government run the country, not worry about who and/or what gets a job. That isn't a requirement for the government.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Taking an unusual tack to dealing with a $3.6 billion budget deficit, Florida Gov. Rick Scott unveiled a budget Monday that cuts $4 billion in property and corporate income taxes.
The budget, which the newly installed governor has said is the nation's most fiscally conservative, also cuts $4.6 billion in spending from services such as Medicaid and prisons. Public employees would also have to contribute 5% for their pension benefits, which will save $2.8 billion over two years.
I feel sorry for the people (police, firefigters, etc) he is putting out of their jobs, but I welcome the property tax break. I will take the savings and add to the principal of my mortgage.
And when it does fail, what then?
Florida will be in dire straits, not like we arent close to it now.
When do you liberals FINALLY get it. It's BEEN a failure and that's why they are IN THIS MESS. Go ahead, continue to blindly follow the failed policies of the past, and when someone comes in and tries to fix it you whine and moan about "but, but, the gubment, the gubment!!! It cannot function without more taxes!!!"
Actually, its really only a problem for me when non-Floridians try to call me out with an off-topic post in a thread about Florida.
Have fun shoveling those snowdrifts now!
Your post, as a usual lib post, doesn't even respond to facts. NICE deflection; you guys and gals on the left are really good at that.
