Rick Scott in Fox News Sunday interviews during 2021

On Budget & Economy: Supply chain problems due to regulations, not infrastructure

Florida Governor Rick Scott: If the secretary of transportation wanted to solve the port issue, you'd fly out to the port, you'd sit down with everybody and find out what the problem is and then you go solve it. Typically, the problem is caused by some government regulation or some government red tape. If you look at what they're talking about with this bill all it's going to do is cause more inflation.

On Budget & Economy: I cut taxes and balanced budget; you can do both

SCOTT: I cut taxes and fees 100 times, over $10 billion and I actually balanced a budget and paid off a third of the state debt. You can do both. The way you do it is you look at every line of your budget. I went through every line and said, I am not going to waste anybody's money. We've got to do that at the federal level.
