Second GOP presidential debate: on Welfare & Poverty

Ron DeSantis: We believe in work; hence lowest welfare & unemployment

DESANTIS: It's not. Our State's a dynamic state. We've got a lot of folks that come. Of course, we've had a population boom. We also don't have a lot of welfare benefits, in Florida. We're basically say, "This is a field of dreams; you can do well in the state." But we're not going to be like California, and have massive numbers of people on government programs, without work requirements. We believe [if you can] work, you got to do that. And that goes for all the welfare benefits. And you know what that's done? Our unemployment rate is the lowest, amongst any big state. We have the highest GDP growth of any big state.
