Florida has not had any significant growth in their economy during Scott's term. As for voting republican, wasn't W a fine example? And no I am not supporting Obama Jane, where are the new businesses? Jim isn’t it ironic that everytime a republican is in control we have a recession??

At least it didn't shrink like Alabama's... I just looked up the actual 2011 growth rate in Florida and its 0.5%… At least it didn’t shrink like Alabama’s…

"Percent change in GSP from 2004 to 2005." A bit dated and a bit before Scott had anything to do with it... jp, cool site .. but you forgot to read the footnote on where the data was collected from…

“Percent change in GSP from 2004 to 2005.”

A bit dated and a bit before Scott had anything to do with it…

This contrasts with California which has a credit rating of A- and a rank of 50 = the lowest. Opinions are great, but being informed is even better:

I think the only time the debt for the federal government was paid down was when Clinton was in office... I saw numbers for 1999 that have the national debt reduced by $140 billion... and a surplus in the budget of $123 billion... (which should have been applied to the debt also IMHO)...

Let's hope it continues. Looks like Governor Scott is doing what he said he would…lowering the debt and adding new businesses in Florida. Let’s hope it continues.
