You need not EVER worry about FLORIDA, as we do ALL THINGS the best!!

As said, you should be more worried about your purple state turning into a blue cesspool!!

May just interject one thing?
Let's ALL move to Florida!!
Soon, we'll be living shoulder to shoulder down there.
How fun will that be??
The marinas, beaches, golf courses, restaurants etc etc etc will be FILLED.
Housing will be like a sardine can anywhere in the state.
Yes, let's ALL move to Florida!
Great weather! Minus the occasional hurricane.

You Floridians need stop advertising. 😄

All of us REAL "born and raised here" Americans will move to Florida and leave the entire REST of the USA to the illegals.
Does that sound good?????

If Texas was a country, it would be the worlds eighth largest economy, bigger than Canada, Russia, etc.

....and we ran a $30B surplus last year. About $2K of which was returned to me in the form of lowered property tax.

Who's state returned a portion of their tax surplus?

The problem with modern money isn’t the amount of debt accumulated, it’s government power accumulated. We’re not on a sound monetary system, like the gold standard, we’re on a debt based, slave system. That mountain of debt is vapor, they can create as many dollars as needed to pay back creditors, whenever they like. It’s not money.

The time to be upset, was when FDR confiscated everyone’s money (gold), and instituted the “income tax”. We happen to be on the back nine and have an opportunity to escape the plantation. Besides all the slaves that don’t know how to survive outside the system, this would be an opportunity for real Liberty and celebration.

Meh. The rich folk with summer homes here (many from Floriduh), we don't allow them to vote. As a result, we're deep red.

My county, circled.

FTR, gdp includes government spending, like “Space Force” and may not be inflation adjusted, so when toilet paper prices double and the government buys a bunch, it can appear the economy has improved.

To give away (on a street corner) the U.S. debt at $1 per second, it will take 1,300,101.39 years.
