Rick Scott Calls Out 'Crist-Obama Playbook' on the Economy

With a report out from the Wall Street Journal that Democratic gubernatorial candidate former Gov. Charlie Crist is hesitant to have President Barack Obama stump for him in Florida, Gov. Rick Scott looked to link the two on economic issues.

Our state is turning around because we have done the exact opposite of Washington, Scott said on Monday. We threw out the Crist-Obama playbook of higher taxes, more debt and more spending. We made government get out of the way of Florida job creators by undoing Charlie Crists tax increases and 15 percent year-after-year tuition hikes on college students. The results of our pro-growth policies are clear businesses have created more than 640,000 new jobs. And even though we have more work to do to get every Florida family working again, I hope President Obama can make a trip to the Sunshine State soon to see the results of our pro-growth policies even if he is not invited on the campaign trail with Charlie Crist.
