Florida is a deeply neo-con state- not at all surprising.

America gives Israel billions every year. The whole country stands with them- not just Florida.

That is what I was thinking, it's a safe bet because it's backed by the # of tax dollars we give to Israel.

Virtue signaling bond purchases is bad fiscal management and the courts should prosecute any politician that does that.

This is taxpayer money and debt that will be repaid by future generations. ALL that matters is if it's a sound investment.

The hypocrisy is mind boggling. The same politicians who direct fund managers not to invest in ESG companies and indices are all in when it comes to investing in their own political causes.

As a Floridian, I appreciate your compliment. I am a very proud neo-con from the free state of Florida.

What part of neo-conservatism do you object to?

"Neoconservatism refers to things that are pro-American nationalist interest in international affairs. This includes bigger military, pro-democracy, nationalism, anti-communism. It started in the United States during the 1960s."

Are you anti-American? Against our natonal interests in international affairs? Against our #1 most powerful military? Anti-democracy? Pro communism? I'm very curious where you disagree.

Way to go governor DeSantis Florida loves you.

Palm Beach County is a Blue County. They bought $200M worth of Israeli bonds...so how do you Libs feel about that?

[b]"Palm Beach County has a total of $200 million invested in Israel Bonds and will earn $21 million in interest off the most recent purchases. “What does this mean for Palm Beach County taxpayers? It means an incredible return, with a very strong and safe investment,” Clerk Abruzzo said.[/B]"
