In Florida, we are focused on economic growth and not on things that divide us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The economy grows when families can spend money on personal priorities rather than priorities imposed by the federal government.
If we didn't have the rest of the world growing, the United States economy would be in much worse shape than it is today.
Of course there are critics who believe that no matter what we do, the Florida dream is over. They claim that we must accept the idea that inevitably our future is one of high taxes and big government.
In my home state of Indiana, we prove every day that you can build a growing economy on balanced budgets, low taxes, even while making record investments in education and roads and health care.
We have concentrated wealth and capital to such a degree that the vast majority of us don't have the discretionary dollars to make our economy go and grow.
We are not out to boast that there is so much percentage of growth per year. Our real concern is how it affects the lives of people, the future of our country.
Florida is not going to implement Obamacare. We are not going to expand Medicaid, and we're not going to implement exchanges.
If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.
You don't grow the economy by growing government.
We in Tennessee know that low taxes, less government, and less spending are the ways to grow our economy.
