Inflation Is Too Damn High
This week, I wrote an op-ed in Newsmax on how under Biden, inflation is too damn high. I don’t know when memes first entered American political culture, but it had to be somewhere around 2010. That’s when at a New York State gubernatorial debate, then candidate for Governor Jimmy McMillan said something both profound and accurate: "The rent is too damn high!" He was right. In fact, his passion was so strong, he articulated the feelings of New Yorkers so perfectly, that now disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo was forced to agree when he said, "I’m with Jimmy — the rent is too damn high." As we’re midway through the first quarter of 2022, Jimmy McMillan’s sentiments still ring true, but with a catch: it's not just the rent that's too damn high; everything is too damn high because of inflation.
Yesterday, I had the privilege of recognizing members of Florida’s Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Task Force 8 in Ocala and US&R Task Force 5 in Jacksonville as part of my "Year of the US&R" statewide tour. At the ceremony, I honored them with a challenge coin and a ribbon for them to wear on their uniform. The challenge coin represents respect, unity and courage, values that Florida firefighters live by.
Lastly, we had a very successful and busy seventh week of session! The following priority legislation progressed: High School Graduation Requirements in Personal Finance, Fraud Prevention, Fire Investigator Cancer Treatment Benefits, DFS Agency Bill and the House's Tax Package.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
