At CPAC USA 2026, US Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) highlighted the cost-of-living crisis in Florida he himself helped to create when he misruled the state for eight years. The oligarch whined "we've been losing jobs" and that "the cost of living has gone up, because the housing's up, the cost of insurance is up, so it's very unaffordable."
FTA:
"Ridiculously blaming former POTUS Joe Biden (D) for Florida's economic crisis, US Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) snivelled that Dummkopf Trumpf is "working his butt off" pretending to fix the problems Republican Party policies have wreaked upon the Sunshine State. The oligarch likened the draft dodging geriatric pedophilic warmonger in the White House to the "Energizer bunny" who is trying to repair the issues created by eight years of Governor Scott's misrule, which was followed up by another seven years of malfeasance, corruption, and incompetence under Governor Ron DeSatan (R-FL).

Amongst the tsunami of problems caused by Rick Scott, Ron DeSatan, and the Republican Party for Floridians (anti-vaxxing, removing fluoride from public water, pollution, local police cooperation with ICE, Christian proselytization in public schools, nuclear safety concerns at their plants, increasing utility costs, a corrupted state attorney general, and Islamophobic legislators), 3,172 people die and 6,358 are wounded by firearms in the Sunshine State in an average year. Gun violence costs Florida $40.3bn each year, of which $875.9m is paid by taxpayers.
