IMO the "beast" is the GoverNOR and his kind

The Governor is doing everything in his power to save this state and make it viable in the new economy.

The boom is over. It's not coming back. It may get worse.

We're competing with China and with India, and we've got huge debt. We're a declining power. The things we had ten years ago, and gotten used to and enjoy, we have to give those back now.

We're in a lot of trouble. Not just here in Florida, but all across the country. We need to tighten our belts. Make the hard cuts. And move forward leaner, and more thrifty into this new age.

Governor Scott is an example to all other Governors on how to get a state fixed.

Governor Scott is an example to all other Governors on how to not be re-elected. 

I think it's bad to be so down on America.  I think our best days are ahead of us.  We just need better leaders.  And we'll get them.

[Steve]

Here is my concern.  We seemed to go a bit arbitrary on the cuts.  For example, the overland bridge is NOT a capacity project.  The overland bridge is nearing end of life.  Do we really want I-35 to happen here?

[JeffreyS]

The Federal debt is and situation is dire Big Guy not Florida's. It is a simple truth.

Slap that on a Happy Meal. It'll cheer people up.

We're post-WW2 England. We overpsent. We overstretched. Now we need to cut, downsize, and move forward.

We've got to make room for China, India, and other emerging economic super powers. We just won't have the same financial dominance we enjoyed for the past 10-20 years.

We had our run. But, it's time to be realistic and acknowledge that the run is over. We owe it to future generations to do the right thing here. It's hard and it stinks.

The country, as a whole, just took a paycut. We have to come up with a new budget, instead of just foolishly assuming that we'll keep getting pay raises.

Sorry, but China is investing in education and green technology- not cutting eduction to give tax breaks to the rich and wealthy corporations.  I do understand what it means to balance a budget, but not making cuts that are geared toward doing nothing more than pleasing his party and the rich.  What this crook is doing is of his interests, not the peoples.  I do agree that we do need to make cuts, but lets be honest with ourselves.  Lets not make cuts in one place to give to our friends in another place.

What would you cut in lieu of what the Governor proposes be cut?

[MusicMan]

Thanks for ther Pep Talk, Big Guy.

I guess you didn't get Pres Obama's Memo: WIN THE FUTURE


FEAR: The Republicans Best Issue

[jcjohnpaint]

Well I sure as hell would not be giving tax breaks to citizens and corporations!  ...who 1 were stupid enough to put people in office who put us in this place- and I am not talking about Clinton, but 8 years of that Texas dipshit.  2 If we are cutting everything...then why is this governor so insistent on cutting infrastructure/ transportation that does not include the automobile/ education (SPECIFICALLY PRIVATE) education.  Personally all of these cuts are what China is using to build it's economy.  I am sorry, but I do agree with you about cuts, but these cuts are very biased and I don't we should even be considering tax cuts at the time.  How about everybody including the rich payer higher taxes to pay for the bad mistakes we made when voting.  
   

[jcjohnpaint]

yeah I guess a little respect is in order for a president, but I will day I do not respect the job Bush did and I SURE do not respect the job that Scott is doing.  I know what you are saying, but I do not believe we need to step aside for China.  This county has lost it's way.  We need to begin to care about each other again.  I cannot respect any politician that cares so little about anyone below a certain pay grade.  You have to admit that Scott is out to destroy the poor.  I do not respect this, but that is just me!

[Jimmy]

I'd cut the tax breaks.  I'd roll those way back.

[JeffreyS]

None of the cuts are going to fly with thoughtful people while the Governor is saying we can throw the revenue from corporate taxes out the window.

[RiversideLoki]

The rest of Florida is starting to regain sanity. Rick Scott's latest poll numbers put him in the 20s.

If you borrow money from me, I own you.

China has a lot of our debt. We need to pay it down, before they start reminding us about it next time we try and do something on the global stage.

The debt is real. Whether it's the country, the state, the city, or the individual. When you owe money, bad things happen.
