"Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature face a $1.5 billion revenue shortfall, state economists said Tuesday….The projections are not what lawmakers had in mind last session when they cut regulations, slashed spending and eliminated more than 4,000 state jobs to balance the $69 billion budget…. Lawmakers also turned away billions in federal transpiration [um, sic?] and health care money, and tried to boost the economy by including $70 million in tax incentives."
—Well, there you have it.
The economic reality is clearly out of touch with mainstream American magical thinking.
That should have been "transubstantiation."

Maybe they passed the budget on Opposite Day.
"So… we need more money, so we should…cut? taxes? Am I doing this right?"
So 70 million is from tax cuts. Where's the other 1.43 billion in shortfall from?
Ah, but what about the rich people who bankrolled their campaigns (including Scott himself) – how are they doing? Remember, they're the only ones who matter.
