WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott responded to a recent editorial in the Washington Post with a letter to the editor blasting President Biden’s reckless spending, which has skyrocketed the federal debt to $31 trillion and continues to hurt hardworking families across the country with the inflation it causes. Senator Scott believes that solving the debt crisis starts with balancing the budget—just like he did as Governor of Florida.

In the letter to the editor, Senator Rick Scott wrote, ”As the editorial rightly pointed out, the United States’ enormous debt is a problem that both parties are complicit in, and Mr. Biden’s latest proposal does nothing to fix it. But the editorial was wrong to dismiss the idea of balancing the budget. It is not unrealistic; it’s necessary.

...

If the Editorial Board or anyone reading this doubts my optimism, take a look at what Florida did when I was governor. We balanced the budget, paid down almost one-third of state debt and increased investments in transportation, the environment and education all while cutting taxes nearly 100 times.

How? We focused on growing Florida’s economy.

...

The same must be done in Washington, and it’s possible if everyone stops caving.”
