Ron DeSantis: “We've retired 50.2% of the state's debt over, you know…”

“I put out a little graphic yesterday to show the declining taxpayer supported state debt. If you go back seven, eight years ago and then you go now, We've retired 50.2% of the state's debt over, you know, that's 181 years of existence. And we've been able to do it. 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.” (01:21–01:28)
