Under a republican president and a republican governor, Florida ranks 1st in job market in the country. This is even in spite of hurricanes. Now the left may try to spin it anyway they can, but the fact remains that Florida's booming economy is the result of two republican leaders. Less than 10 years ago, while Florida was run by a democrat governor Lawton Chiles and under President Clinton, the economy of Florida was distressed with no relief in sight. Enter Jeb Bush and President Bush. OK dems, let's turn this around.

What exactly did Jeb do? Specifics would be nice.

Florida is a red state with a soaring economy. Jeb must be doing something right. Take a look at Louisiana. Between the governor and mayor of NO, it's a loser state. And you can't blame the hurricanes, because Florida has more than there share of them. Oh wait, they can always blame George Bush. NO will have the chance to boost their economy with all the new building going on. Let's see what they do with the opportunity.

Lots of blue states have soaring economies, too. Yes, Louisiana's economy is poor. But guess what? IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. Just like all the red states in the southeast (except the Atlanta region).

Florida has at least two huge thriving cities and is a tourist trap. Rich people invest in property there because of the nice climate. It would take more talent to screw up Florida's economy.
Send Jeb to Louisiana or even Michigan. Then we'll see how good he is.

But Sleepy your correlation sounds more like superstition than anything. It's like saying "Seattle gets more rain because some guy there did the proper rain dance."

Even though lots of other places have equal amounts of rain and yet no one danced.

This is just partisan foolishness. There is no real correlation between political parties and economic success. There are states governed by Republicans doing well, just as there are states governed by republicans doing poorly. Same goes for Democrat governed states.

Many parts of the west coast were depressed in the nineties. You couldn't give away a house. Those same houses have tripled in price. The job market was bleak. What happened? Since Jeb was elected, the economy turned around. I guess it's a coincidence. And the only ones still complaining are the die-hard dems.

How long have they had a democratic governor? Maybe they should think republican if they want to pull themselves up out of the muck.

Then do explain what exactly either Bush did to boost Florida's economy.
