So if you look at the state of Florida's debt that we have as a state over the 180 year history, all the debt that's been racked up since I've been governor, we've paid off more than 41% of it. And By the end of this fiscal year, we will have paid off almost 50% of the state's total historical debt. There aren't a lot of other places where the debt's declining, certainly not in Washington D.C. they're on the pathway to have 41 trillion in national debt. (08:19–08:27)
