Recently, Gov. Andrew Cuomo used one of his daily news briefings to attack me. He’s been doing that a lot lately. And again, he begged for a bailout from the federal government to fund his years of fiscal mismanagement. He argued that his state gives more to the federal government than it gets in return and that Florida gets more than it pays in. Therefore, Floridians should be sympathetic to his demand for a bailout.
There is just one problem with the governor’s line of argument: It’s a bald-faced lie.
The Empire State doesn’t give more money to the federal government than it receives. And the Sunshine State doesn’t receive more money from the feds than it puts it. Let’s break it down, so Cuomo can understand.

New Yorker’s get their money back. They just get it at a Florida address.
Way to go Rick
more Republicans like this please.
Note the lesson here:
Don’t accept Democrat framing of the debate. They frame the debate, you argue inside it. You lose. Next.
Scott challenges the terms of the debate and Cuomo’s whole thesis cracks apart like a pinata hit by a five year old.
Another one:
Cuomo framed the reopening debate as “restarting the economy” vs. saving lives. How many lives would you be willing to sacrifice to restart the economy?
If your answer is a number, you lose. Next.
The correct answer is: attending church, or watching my kid play soccer or graduate from school IS my life. It’s not “the economy” it’s “the country”, it’s “our lives”.
Mills of Maine is the mini-Cuomo. She took our rainy day fund and funded her buds.
I was never a fan of Rick Scotts, but this was well done.
Attaboy Rick.
Based upon the actions of his two idiot sons, Mario, the Pius (their dad) is no doubt spinning in his grave.
If I was as dumb as Cuomo I would probably be a democrat too.
