Democrats decry Donald Trump's 'broken economic promises' to Florida
Florida economic numbers by many measures are sound. From reserve levels to the unemployment rate, material abounds for buoyant GOP news releases.
However, the Democratic National Committee frames the economic narrative differently.
A report released Tuesday spotlights problems with Florida’s economy, laying the blame for “broken economic promises” at the feet of President Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump’s broken promises on the economy is a major weakness for his campaign in Florida. His health care agenda spikes costs and guts coverage protections for people with preexisting conditions, while his tax scam is only helping corporations and the wealthiest few at the expense of working families,” the memo charges.
Citing polling that shows people feeling like the Trump economy is leaving them behind, Democrats believe the President has “major economic vulnerabilities for Trump in Florida — including how he told Floridians he would lower their taxes ‘big league’ despite the fact his tax scam would actually raise taxes on hardworking Floridians and how his plan to allow near-shore drilling would negatively damage Florida’s environment and economy.”
