DeSantis

Florida is a welfare state whereas Cali is not...like Iowa, Florida's surplus is from Washington
Good lord...hot take right here. Cali had a huge surplus last year but decided to spend it all...Florida didn't. End of story.

Florida is NOT a donor state. No time to link but what you just posted doesn't say that. Florida IS better than Iowa, though, for the record in what I just looked at.
 
40 states receive more money than they give... Florida is 36th per your link. 36% of it's budget comes from federal dollars...the following link cites your link

You sure you're reading that right? Florida is 3rd in ratio of Federal Funding to Federal income tax paid at 0.37.
Washington and New Jersey are tied for first at 0.35.

We do have a lot of rich F's down here paying income tax you know :)
 
Florida is doing just fine.


By contrast California had a huge deficit in 2022.

Florida’s budget surplus was due to Federal Covid funds not DeSantis' budgetary leadership.
 



True. But Florida maintained that surplus through 2022.

California...for example...did not. Spent it all...
Maybe, because they took the Federal money and then didn't spend it for the intended purposes. Now, those dollars are gone. Let's see what kind of budget surplus he's able to achieve without Biden's help.

Fair enough….

I’d rather the Covid surplus be handled how Florida handled it then California.

That's an opinion you're entitled to. If it wasn't going to be used for its intended purposes, why not just return it?

Where did the surplus come from? Was it pandemic money? Do some research.
 
At its core, it’s all based on a belief that homosexuality is a choice.

It is a choice.

Just like being left-handed or right-handed is a choice. Your brain chooses your handedness; just like it figures out if you are gay or not, based on the people you are attracted to and connect with.
