21. PolitriFact: Is $1 of Every $3 Ron DeSantis Spends From the Federal Government? Yes

PolitriFact Published March 16, 2023

When we asked about the source of Driskell's "$1 of every $3" claim, House Minority Office Staff Director David Grimes directed us to the text of DeSantis' proposed $114 billion budget for fiscal year 2023-24, which starts July 1.

The recommended budget uses about $39 billion in federal funding. "Dividing the federal portion over the entire budget reveals federal funding constitutes approximately 34.5% of the budget, or $1 out of every $3 he spends," Grimes told PolitiFact.

[malaise]

22. Unbelievable

Hate the federal government but squander their money

[MotownPgh]

24. And the Feds have done nothing in

focusing on accountability, literal accountability.

[pwb]

25. Disney doesn't fit in Florida anymore.

The climate and hate culture does not mix with Disney's products anymore. Move up where it is cooler Disney. How about a Disney Winter land.

[intheflow]

34. I've thought about that.

Not exactly a winterland park, but more of a giant astrodome-like park where they could put all the rides in a building with a retractable roof, so you can still go during the winter.

[allegorical oracle]

26. Utmost absurdity. I'm one Floridian who feels WAY less free than pre-DeSatan days. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Well we just had some new "Welcome to Pennsylvania" signs unveiled last week

https://www.wgal.com/article/pennsylvania-new-license-plates-welcome-signs/61544071

And it ain't propaganda!

[Enola]

32. Freedom to oppress everybody you hate.

It's all in how you view things.

[Cheezoholic]

33. Which relative or buddy owns the company making signs?

Seriously, this is a small town corruption tactic as old as the hills (or the sand lol).

[malaise]

35. Ding ding

😀😂😀

[Vinca]

36. Last week I spotted a car with Florida plates at the local store where I live (NH). What happened

to the old "The Sunshine State" motto? This one said, "In God We Trust." I was going to ask the guy whose god, but I figured he'd shoot me.

[malaise]

42. They've gone mad

For real

[chouchou]

37. There ain't Shit Free in Florida. I live here.

How about THIS free...One of the colleges in my area used to be actually progressive. DeSantis fired everybody, brought in the right-wing assholes and completely ruined the whole place..AND to piss off us even more..Last week they mowed/dug up a nature preserve and plan to build a sports team for the damn college. Lots of people here in Sarasota are boiling pissed-off. ..as they should be.
Doesn't really affect me but..One hates to see good things die.

[paleotn]

41. That's the thing about fascist states. It may not affect you directly now, but in time it will.

Fascists can't help but dominate and destroy everything. If Florida doesn't purge them, they'll get to you shortly.

[malaise]

43. You nailed it

Rec

[AllaN01Bear]

38. so, how does this fix broken infastructure . pave streets etc? hmmm, mr smarty pants?

[paleotn]

40. All that is irrelevant to DeathSantis.

[Jimvanhise]

39. AUDIO?

I get no audio when people speak on this link although Youtube has other different versions of this story.

[GiqueCee]

44. In typical Republican fashion...

... Rhonda Sepsis screeches about FREEDUMB! then turns around and passes the most invasive, restrictive, and draconian laws in recent memory. Freedom for whom, Ronnie? Certainly not for those you gleefully victimize, you evil little toad.

[paleotn]

47. Rhonda Sepsis. That's good. I like that!

[GiqueCee]

48. Feel free...

... to spread it far and wide!

[paleotn]

49. Thank ya!

[sarchasm]

45. There. I fixed it.

[paleotn]

46. Those signs will look wonderful.....under water.

In 300 years, they'll be novelties of past stupidity. A submerged testament to human excess. We're an intelligent species? Not really.

[tanyev]

52. So free they can't even get home insurance anymore.

[Conjuay]

53. Pity they spelled

DuhSantis wrong

[J_William_Ryan]

54. The fascist state of Florida.

Lying about being ‘free’ is a classic fascist tactic.

[onethatcares]

55. were you aware

that if you mail or email or contact the gov about anything he or his administration does you get doxxed by them and it all becomes public record but if you ask about the governors' travel and expenses they have no transparency or obligation to furnish said information.

Weird !

[HAB911]

56. SEVERE over compensation
