DeSantis is a strong governor who stood up against Disney, Fauci, Biden, crazed radical liberals, etc... and our state is one of the top states to move to and now, DeSantis has overseen a state budget surplus of 20 billon dollars.
"Gov. Ron DeSantis in West Palm Beach on Friday announced that Florida's unemployment rate in April was 3.0 percent. That's down two-tenths of a percent from March and a 2.1 percent decline from last year.
Continuing with the positive economic news, he said that with about six weeks left in the fiscal year, the Sunshine State has a budget surplus of over $20 billion which includes over $3 billion for the state's "rainy day fund" and half a billion dollars set aside to respond to disasters. That may come in handy this hurricane season.
The governor says it's the largest budget surplus in the history of Florida.
It seems as thought the State of Florida has around 18 billion dollars worth of debt. They could use the surplus to wipe that out, and cut taxes even more, as they would no longer be servicing any debt...
DeSantis raised taxes for Florida residents to the tune of $1 billion a year. Extra money in the state coffers, right out of the pockets of Floridians. He already earmarked that money to businesses. Take from the little people and give to the businesses.
NY State had a $30 Billion surplus, NYC had a $3 Billion surplus. People are spending, unemployment is near record lows, tax receipts are up in every state and many states received stimulus.
But sure it's DeSantis.
The sun came up today, thanks DeSantis, best governor ever.
Because he hoarded the federal stimulus money? I think so.
I would have preferred they kept their stupid fiat currency to themselves. By handing it away, they effectively devalued my savings. And now the stock market is going to crap too. Biden has done horrible things to the economy that have deeply impacted everyone's lives, but Florida remains a bright spot.

While NYC rots and people flee the state, it's good to know that the people who destroyed their communities are not going to run out of other people's money

If the New York State Government was smart, they would be using that to pay down their debt, too, so that they would be able to cut taxes, as the amount needed to service the debt would decrease...
Almost every state has a surplus due to the pandemic money.
We had a thread on CA last week or the week before.
It's not good governing and budgeting. It was created money given to the states.
SC had a big surplus and we're using some of that money to give young folks free tuition for 2 year degrees in certain areas.
