debt limit. you re the one that s talked about look at what you did to florida. but think about the fact that he is talking about where is this money going to come from. the best way to tell about a candidate is to see how they ve run their campaign. he has blown through $150 million. i don t know how you do that, through his campaign. he has nothing to show for it. he spent more money on private planes than he has on commercials trying to get iowans to vote for him. if you can t manage a campaign, how are you going to manage a country? which is exactly well, listen, i m proud of i m proud that in the state of florida, we re ranked number one for economy of all 50 states by cnbc. highest cost of living. she was ranked number 50 in education when she was governor of and of course she wasn t able to do school choice. she didn t deliver big tax cuts. we re also number one for net end migration, gdp growth amongst large state, number one for talent development, number one for n
and i ve talked to folks who have overbearing federal agencies. you have farmers who have the epa coming on their farmland because there is maybe a puddle there. waters of the united states. give me a break. so we re going to reduce the size of government, but we re also going to reduce the scope of government. and in florida, i ve actually delivered on this. florida has the lowest percentage of state government workers per capita in the country, and the cost of our state government employees is the lowest in the country. no wonder why we re paying down debt while we re cutting tax for people. that s the way you do it. governor desantis, 15 second point of clarification. the question was whether or not working families would pay the same amount as billionaires. they would pay less than what they re paying now. the way i view it is okay. you exempt people so, you would pay no tax for working class people. it would only be as you get above. i think the first, 40, 50 grand, that s jus
that? if we support ukraine, israel, and secure the border, that s less than 20% of biden s green subsidies. you do not have to choose when it comes to national security. this is about keeping americans safe. this is about preventing war. this is about keeping our military men and women from having to fight a war. and you only do that when you focus on national security, not telling lies to the american people that they have to choose. that is wrong. that s never been the case. governor desantis here is the problem with what she is saying. she doesn t articulate how this comes to an end, except she was asked after the last debate, i believe megyn kelly, she said you bring to it an end by bringing ukraine into nato. but of course we re a nato country. so if you bring ukraine into nato, that puts the united states at war. megyn said that to her, and she basically gave a word salad as to how you go from there. they have sent cash. she supports this $106 billion that they re trying
the border, which we talked about, and people like nikki haley care more about ukraine s border than she does about our own southern border, which is wrong. but we are to take a look at what s the top threat to this country. it s the chinese communist party. we are not doing what we need to do to have adequate hard power in the indo-pacific. here s the thing. we don t have enough resources being $35 trillion in debt to continue doing hundreds of billions of dollars. we got to focus on our issues here at home, and we ve got to deal with the top threat that we face, which is china. then i wonder why you raised the debt when we were in congress, because we re all paying for that. what i will tell you this is the lie they re telling the american people over and over again. it is so wrong to say this. they re saying you have to choose between ukraine or israel, or israel and securing the border. supporting ukraine is 3.5% of our budget. i don t want cash going. it s equipment and it s amm
families pay the same tax rate as billionaires? i would only do it if people are better off than they are now. i want people paying less taxes. actually, if you think the last year we have numbers for, the federal government took in the highest percentage of taxes from the economy since world war ii. and yet they re going deep into debt. we have a spending problem in this country. it s not a tax problem in this country. and if you had something that was simple and transparent, not only would that be better for economic growth, it s also better to end the weaponization of government. the irs has been weaponized against conservatives going back to the obama administration. i was there for that. no one has been held accountable for doing that. you look at the federal bureau of investigation, the department of justice. the weaponization of federal power ends the day i become the president of the united states. there is going to be a new sheriff in town. we re going to restore the constit
