Per capita debt, incredibly low. I think it's like 360 bucks per person. The federal debt I think is 120,000 a person or 110,000 a person. And people remind me, like when you put those out, they'll say, well, it's even better for Florida when you compare the feds because they have all the unfunded liabilities. (01:29–01:36)
