TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday said the state will need help covering costs associated with the coronavirus outbreak, expressing confidence that the federal government will help pick up the tab for increased Medicaid outlays.
And the state might have to borrow to deliver a $400 weekly benefit to unemployed workers that President Donald Trump mandated in an Aug. 8 executive order, he said.
Source: (Politico) DeSantis: Florida will need help making ends meetIn an interview at his office in the state Capitol, DeSantis said he expects federal stimulus funding to be extended through the end of the state's fiscal year on June 30.
“We think that they're going to continue that as long as there's a state of emergency,” DeSantis said. "If we didn't have that, then we'd have to do more in [general revenue].”
You know Trump cut the coronovirus national guard re-reimbursement to all states, but FL & TX?Not a ****ing dime from ANY blue state.
That's how TRUMP PLAYS that gambit, so it's time to play it the other way around.
I saw this coming from a mile away. As soon as Trump said he would pay 100% of thr costs for some states, I knew Florida would be in the front of the line. Trump gives us everything we ask for. He likes our state best, lolSource: (Politico) DeSantis: Florida will need help making ends meet
Hello, what's this? DeSantis' Covid mismanagement has put the state into debt? They can't pay the 25% unemployment match? And he will need emergency funds through next June?
Interesting stuff. I'm not sure what to make of it.
It would seem so ...I saw this coming from a mile away. As soon as Trump said he would pay 100% of thr costs for some states, I knew Florida would be in the front of the line. Trump gives us everything we ask for. He likes our state best, lol

I really hope your wrong. Help should not be based on red or blue. Whatever the guideline is, it must be nonpartisanNot a ****ing dime from ANY blue state.

I am by no means endorsing it but I have noticed he takes very good care of my stateIt would seem so ...

Besides Cuomo's bad call with the nursing homes, he did a pretty damn good job. But there was no reason for TX, FL, GA, AZ, and yes CA, to come out of the lock-down and mismanage it. Not when they saw what happened to us Northern cities early-on.Cuomo was saying the same thing a few months ago. Sadly everyone has mismanaged this greatly in the US.

NY's doing excellently. And MI is holding their own. Everyone got hit early-on due to Trump's mismanagement, but after the lock-down there was no reason for those states to arrogantly mismanage.
My gut feeling, is that it wasn't as much Newsom as Californians' lack of compliance (no disrespect intended). California did so much right so early. It shouldn't have happened. It seems an anomaly, of sorts.CA was weird. I just moved here at the end of last year so almost my entire experience has been dealing with this. We shut down early and then basically everyone got impatient and opened too soon and had to shut down again. Obviously businesses are hurting, but government should be able to help them out while we try to not kill everyone around us.
Sorry. I didn't, and was thinking in terms of pandemic response.Did you read the article I linked? Doesn't sound like they can afford the 25% either.

I know what those of us in large metro areas back here went thru. Streets were deserted, everyone wore masks, and the fear was obvious & palpable.Yea, somewhat. Places around here were allowed to reopen such as restaurants, and while masks were supposed to be warn, there was really no enforcement.

But every time I saw video of California, everyone was running around on the beach or boardwalk, hanging in restaurants, etc., having a ball. With most not wearing masks. It was such a juxtaposition to the buttoned-up city I was in.
