DeSantis unveils budget to cut government jobs, bolster education, debt repayment
Florida's Voice News
By Amber Jo Cooper
Published Dec. 5, 2023, 9:50 a.m. ET | Updated Dec. 5, 2023

MARCO ISLAND, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis held a press conference Tuesday to unveil the $114.4 billion “Focus on Florida’s Future” budget for 2024-2025.

The upcoming budget is less than the previous year, DeSantis said. Last year, the Framework for Freedom Budget totaled $116.5 billion.

The governor said his budget would induce a surplus of $16.3 billion.

DeSantis said the amount always ends up higher, because “the economy here does better than in other parts of the country.”

Under the budget, $455 million would be pledged to the Accelerated Debt Repayment Program.

Over 1,000 positions will be eliminated throughout the state government to “help us realign resources to focus on efficiency,” the governor said.  ...

Why anyone would select Trump over DeSantis is beyond me. What it truly boils down to is opting for a liberal who is proposing socialist plans or opting for a true fiscal conservative with a proven conservative record.

Because for most of Trump's base, it's all emotional. It's a desire to use the arm of the federal government to enact retribution on their opponents. They want nothing more than a "verbal bomb thrower." They just want to "own the libs."

Reducing the size of government and cutting spending are conservative positions. MAGAs want more spending and printing regardless of the consequences as long as the money is spent on them and not the brown people
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

This is conservatism.  It isn’t throwing out verbal bombs at opponents, it isn’t using the power of government for retaliation against opponents, it isnt Freedom cities and baby bonuses and God only knows what more spending, it isn’t seizing private funds from private endowments to expand government role in education, it isn’t printing currency to pay for new spending and claim that the US government can never default because we can print.

No, the above is all your boy. That’s why your only response to people here is to laugh and somehow claim they bet in Santa when it’s obvious you do. Your love and support for Trump is based purely on emotion. Your posts give you away. What the hell does “ he only cares how he’s written about in the history books” even mean?

That is all

Considering who they idolize I would say the old "apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is appropriate. All they have are feelings and try to hold on to all the great things Trump did...and got erased because he's a bomb thrower who doesn't play well with others. So they ridicule someone who actually knows and understands how government works, builds coalitions and gets actual laws passed to achieve his goals, laws that will stand after he is out of office. They seem to be so angry because unlike the Orange Mouth of Anger, DeSantis is an actual conservative looking to cut the size of government and spending in his state while all Trump wants to is spend our children's children's children into to a life of servitude to big government..........and this is different from democrats how?

Maybe you all should stop attacking Ron DeSantis with ridiculous accusations about his stance and his shoes and the rest of the nonsense and applaud a man who actually gets shit done in his own state and would likely do the right thing for our nation. We all know Trump will most certainly be our Republican nominee and DeSantis his VP running mate. Why are you all participating in the Democrats' dirty tricks playbook? If we don't pull together as a party and defeat the socialist jihad of the left, this nation is done. Wake up.

Tying your wagon to DJT is political suicide.  As evidenced of all the bodies strewn 3000 mies from his cabinet to advisors.  Trump viewed his presidency. as an episoode of the Apprentice and hired and fired like it was a game.

Got to agree with you 100%.  Before the Trump presidency, our hope he was a conservative firebrand.  But like so many others, he sold out, just to get a seat at the kiddie table.

Me neither, though not as sure of that as you. Things are SO shitty, and Buydem SO unpopular that the 'lesser evil' maxim could very easily apply... But I think his legal woes will likely overcome his campaign... He's got a helluva lot of plates in the air, under oath, and guarding his words and telling the truth are both very, very hard for Tumpy to do.

What are Ron's proposals for the federal budget?

-  advance an ambitious tax and regulatory reform agenda to unleash American production, increase productivity and growth, and support our families, workers, and small businesses while lowering inflation.
 -  reverse Biden's job-crippling and ideological regulations and executive orders on Day One.
 -  work to not only extend the individual tax rates and further simplify the tax code, but also seek permanence.
 -  seek a more competitive tax system that incentivizes long-term, domestic investment over financial speculation and short-term returns while purging the code of K Street carveouts and loopholes.
 -  seek to make permanent full immediate expensing, maintain territoriality, and further strengthen base erosion measures to ensure corporations are investing in America.
 -  use all available Article II authority to restore accountability in the executive branch, move agencies out of DC and slash the bureaucratic state, restrict foreign lobbying and post-employment revolving doors by former government officials, and ban individual stock trading by members of Congress and executive branch officials.
 -  reverse the federal government's attempt to force people to buy electric vehicles. We will save the American automobile.
Ending Environmental, Social, and Governance Standards and Political Engineering by Large Investors
 -  strengthen rules governing fiduciary responsibilities, transparency requirements, and scrutiny of firms that manage public pension funds.
Restoring Merit and Respect for the Individual as the Central Criteria for Economic Advancement
 -  no longer incentivize useless degrees and courses with blanket government loans. To that end, he will make universities, not taxpayers, responsible for the loans their students accrue. He will also seek to allow student loans to be discharged through bankruptcy like any other loan.
 -  create a fair labor market by securing the border, enforcing our laws, eliminating chain migration and the diversity visa lottery, and limiting unskilled immigration.
 -  appoint a Chairman of the Federal Reserve who will focus on maintaining a stable dollar instead of the political pressures of the day. The Fed must focus on stable prices; it is not a social engineer and cannot be allowed to be an unaccountable economic central planner.
 -  ensure that the Federal Reserve does not implement a central bank digital currency to control the finances of hardworking Americans.  -  block any attempts to establish a Central Bank Digital Currency or any other policies that will move us closer to a social credit system.
Where Washington has sought to regulate and inhibit innovation such as Bitcoin and other new technologies,  -  protect entrepreneurship from central planners who seek to stifle what they cannot control.
 -  require "clear language" disclosures by banks and shadow banks to increase transparency and better track systemic risks.
 -  support community and regional banks that bolster the economic front lines of main street America
 -  protect cryptocurrencies and work to end politically driven debanking and financial doxing.
 -  be a new sheriff in town when it comes to spending, and he will not be afraid of using his veto pen. Our government programs as they exist today are wrought with waste, fraud, and abuse, and continue to be a major drag on our economy, our budget, and the flourishing of our citizens.
 -  use his Article II authority to prohibit federal grants to entities that engage in active discrimination through DEI or other unconstitutional initiatives.
 -

So what are Trump's?  Oh, never mind.  We already know.  His proposal is to spend spend spend like Biden.
