I am concerned that this guy will wreck a lot of things before we can get him out of office. It is one thing to reduce expenditures and balance budgets but another to go at it like a bull in a china shop, with no thought of long term effects. He has a penchant for importing people from other areas, like the Indiana prison guy who wrecked the prison system there. I wonder if Florida has a mechanism in place for a recall election, like California did a few years ago with Gray Davis when he was a short term governor there.

kay,

he is just another……politician. besides that, he is a man, an imperfect human, just like the rest of us. looking to these politicians as if they are rock stars is nuts. we, the people, collectively as neighbors and friends and business associates, it is up to us to change and shape our future and our grandchildren’s futures. we cannot afford to look to these people any longer as if they all hold some kind of magic power to change our destiny. that is horse hockey. we have to look to our own selves for these answers. not some imperfect man.

Art I’m with you buddy. I have even thought about the fact this guy when he
opened his first business brought in his mother to work for him. His
mother thinks it was so nice of him. HA! who would have your back at
your business when you were away like your mother? HA! Who would
work harder for less money like your mother? That was the smartest thing
I ever heard. If his mother liked it, Good for her. If she could use the money,
good for her. I still think old scott was looking out for #1.

I still feel he is just another ………!

he wants to privatize everything, fine…he wants to make cuts, fine……he wants to drug test state employees and make them pay for it, fine…….but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking he has “the courage to do the right thing” and he somehow has florida’s best interests at heart. his plans are a major boon not for the hard working folks like you and me….for crying out loud, they benefit his cronies and his own health care company!!! that’s why he spent so much money getting elected. it was his own private business plan. this is a classic example of robbing the poor to make the rich richer…just disgusts me. not surprised, not shocked, politics as usual.

Florida is getting what they voted for, enjoy your job cut backs and new taxes for online shopping, and a huge loss of high speed rail jobs.

Please dont complain about the deficit, Under Bush it was Republican controlled and the out of control spending was never brought up, the trillion dollar war was not a problem. So no need to complain now

THE BAD PART IS AS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE SAID—HE IS DOING WHAT HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO. “TEA PARTY”, HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH HIM—GOP VOTERS, HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH HIM, AND ON AND ON. THE ONLY HOPE IS THE LEGISLATORS CAN REPLACE SOME OF THE FUNDS. ONE OF HIS OTHER BIG KICKS IS THE STATE RETIREMENT—MOST OF US PAID INTO IT AND IT IS NOT A HAND OUT FROM THE STATE AS MANY HAVE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE. I WONDER IF SOME ONE ASKS HIM A QUESTION NOW IF HE STILL TAKES THE 5th.

Cheated Tax Payer said “Wow, what a great humanitarian Rick Scott is! He spent 70 million to get elected and just cut the budget for the Association for Retarded Citizens by 500,000 dollars.”

I said…Actually, I read it was 740,000 dollars. Veteran’s homes are on the list to be whacked as well. I guess it’s like The Nameless One said,” I am glad that Gov. Scott has the courage to do the right thing and not be ruled by the polls.”

Yeah, right.

I am glad that Gov. Scott has the courage to do the right thing and not be ruled by the polls. If only the president would do the same thing instead of fighting making the tough choices.

It is not popular to do the right thing, but it is absolutely necessary. Spending money we do not have can not go on forever…

The media is doing a great job of hyping up the pain involved in the cuts… but says little of the reality that we simply can not afford to continue to spend money like we have.

Many of the popular programs being cut could be funded if not for obligations made for political gain…
