What’s missing here? — In his remarks on Monday, DeSantis didn’t mention the American Rescue Plan and suggested that the state was able to do the bonuses because it had a hefty budget surplus that was created because of the governor’s anti-lockdown Covid-19 policies. Well, it’s true that the state has the largest surplus in its history due in part to better than anticipated economic activity. But the bonuses — which will cost an estimated $113 million this go round — are 100 percent paid for by the federal government.


So, Minnesota, which was one of the stricter lockdown states (even had a 2nd lockdown) had like a $9 billion dollar surplus. The State surpluses were due to all the money printing in the 6 trillion bailout.
