Budget breakdown: Crist vs the Legislature vs Reality
by Michael C. Bender | January 29th, 2010
This graphic shows the total budget proposed by Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, how much the Republican-controlled legislature approved and where the final budget ended up for the year.
What it shows is that for all the jokes Senate and House leaders make about Crist’s optimistic budget, his definition of reality hasn’t been too far from their own: Crist proposed less spending than lawmakers initially approved in 2007 and in 2009 both he and the legislature ended up on the same total amount.

“I Think” everything will be alright! I am tight with the Prez and we have billions coming from everywhere. Not to worry. I think money will solve all of these problems. I have promised the prez when I get in the senate he will have one accross the isle on his side. He’s going to help me get there. meanwhile I think the sitmulus money will keep flowing. After all its free why not take it. I mean its our money anyway. Keep that stimulus stimulating!
