@MegaManX2025 That debt figure is not accurate — and we will have paid off nearly 50% of the state debt (accumulated over Florida’s entire history) by the end of this fiscal year. And we’ve saved billions in avoided interest payments by paying it off early.

@RonDeSantis Our state debt is over $25 billion. How about we pay some more of that off? You have already paid off 41% of it where was at! Why not keep going?
