Florida Lieutenant Gov. Jeff Kottkamp Against Government Spending Except in Florida
Florida Lieutenant Gov. Jeff Kottkamp is insanely hypocritical. He’s also incredibly incoherent. For example”
“It appears this president doesn’t have a lot of respect for the foundation of this country,” “In some ways it seems like he doesn’t have an appreciation for nation states. Everything he’s done seems to be a systematic attack on the foundation of this country.”
What the hell are you talking about Kottkamp? You’re not making any sense.
Referring to Obama he says:
“He continues to look for government solutions when we all know … that private sector free mark solutions are what’s going to work.”
Kottkamp wants to ignore the lost decade. That’s the last ten years when we turned the free market loose and looked the other way hoping it would behave itself and produce enough revenue to close the budget deficit gap. It didn’t do either of these. No need to go into the disaster that experiment caused.
Speaking on health care reform Kottkamp says:
“It’s clearly a violation of the 10th amendment,” Kottkamp said. “If the federal government can force you to buy healthcare, they can force you to do anything.”
This is foolishness. The government drafted 18 year olds back in the sixties and early seventies to go fight and die in Viet Nam. The government forces people to do a lot of things, but those things were voted on by elected representatives that the people sent to Washington on their behalf. You can’t separate the government from the people. They are one and the same.
Naturally, Kottkamp is against Obama’s NASA budget cuts.
“Those cuts will hurt workers on Florida’s space coast, where rockets are launched”.
Big government public solutions and big spending are ok when the money is spent in Florida. What a hypocrite.
“…biotechnology and life sciences, aerospace, alternative energy, digital technology. These are areas where you bring high wage jobs to your state,…”
These are exactly the types of businesses where tons of government money can be channeled into Florida to establish and support these industries. I guess when that money comes flowing into Florida that will be ok too.
