Oh for gods sake. First, while it’s true that Florida has the highest ACA enrollment in the country, no, there are not "5 x more people enrolled in Obamacare in Florida than live in the state." Around 19% of the total population is enrolled, which is high but hardly over 100%. 1/5th =/= 5x.

The rise in rulings on the “shadow docket” has been driven, at least in part, by Trump’s losses in lower courts. “The patterns show a court going out of its way to enable Trump,” one scholar said. “That’s the real blow to the court’s credibility.” (Published July)

The federal government spends more money than it collects in taxes and other revenue. That difference is the federal deficit. Because America has developed this very large structural deficit, the cost of carrying its debt has become one of the government’s largest expenses.
