Did DeSantis Just Gift Taxpayers $878 Million?

(00:00.908)

Yeah, bias, but I love Ron DeSantis here in the state of Florida and all of the few taxpayers around the country. You should be a fan of his as well. Ron DeSantis did something. I can’t don’t remember. I can’t recall a governor ever doing this. I can’t. Governor of the state of Florida, the state is going to the state of Florida is going to return to Washington, D.C. more than eight hundred seventy eight million dollars.

Ron DeSantis has been trying to give back this money for the past two years. The Biden administration wouldn’t let him give back. I’m not making this up. Yeah, yeah, for years, this is Ron DeSantis, for years, Florida’s been trying to return federal funds to the federal government due to the ideological strings attached by the Biden administration. But they couldn’t even figure out how to accept it.

So he met with Elon Musk and they’re giving the money back. You know, these are things that never ever, ever happens. What happens is all of these governors and the same thing happened with COVID. I need this, give me money, send me money, want more money, need more than cash. And then they never spend it on the things, but they find something that they want to spend money on, some district somewhere, some way to help certain politicians in a tough district to get reelected. That’s how it works.

And it’s gross, quite frankly. But anyway, kudos to Ron DeSantis actually being a good steward of federal tax dollars. Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
