Welcome to

Governor Rick Scott told reporters over donuts this morning Washington’s debt deal doesn’t cut spending enough. The deal promises to cut 1.2 trillion dollars over the next decade. Tomorrow is the deadline to reach a deal to keep the US from defaulting on its payments. Scott says he’s glad the country will avoid default, but more needs to be done.

“If we don’t learn how to control our spending at the federal level, there is a day of reckoning at some point,” said Scott.

Scott supports a balanced budget amendment to the US constitution that would require the federal government to balance its budget with its income, not credit, much like states have to.
