If you look at all the debt that the state of Florida accumulated over 180 years of our state's history, the just since I've been governor seven years, we've retired half the debt of the state. And so We now have the lowest per capita debt of any state in the United States. And I think your share as a Florida resident would be about $400 per person. Your share of the federal debt as a U.S. citizen, I think would be about $120,000. (06:10–06:15)
