Florida Governor Rick Scott is in New York City this morning, and made an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe program, where he said he was reserving comment on President Obama's $447 billion jobs plan announced last Thursday, a plan some Republicans initially said they might be able to support some part of, but are now turning against it, as they learn how he plans on funding it (by raising taxes on those making more than $250,00).
Scott said "the devil is in the details," and said his concern is (as he said when he rejected federal funds for high speed rail) what strings might be attached, "because you know this is our money. We send it up there, and Florida's never gotten back what we send up."
Scott said the fastest way to get more jobs created in Florida is to pass three pending trade agreements - in Panama, Colombia and South Korea, which is actually what Obama said he'd like to do as well in his joint speech to Congress last week.
