You need to stop listening to the candidate and look at the facts.
Bush, like his brother, is a big spender. The Florida budget increased 45% under his watch.
Do you call that cutting the size of government?
Really? No I did not know that. But he was in office 8 years. so a 5% yearly increase does not sound out of line. Florida economy probably grew by 45% during those 8 years. I have not lived in Florida, and have not done any research.
But right now, there is zero chance I would vote for Bush in primaries. So I am not going to worry too much about Jeb Bush.
