Rick Scott, what the hell man

This next song is from my latest album “I don’t know jack about politics”. I really don’t pay attention to politics at the state level, only because there hadn’t been any major issues of note (except petty things like making fun of Jeb for creating that FCAT). But since this year, I have seen and heard more people distraught over this guy’s performance and actions as Governor of Florida, and have myself picked up a tele-robot phone call with his recorded voice on the other end speaking something about unemployment and— exactly why are you barging into our phone systems and making unsolicited calls AFTER you’ve been elected? You don’t need anything from us, so if anything this is an intrusion of our privacy. Nice going, overspent ad money.

I did hear about the cancellation of the high-speed rail across Orlando and other parts of Central Florida, but wondered how he was going to budget the money on other state related tasks. Turns out after I’ve done some digging and this was federal-sponsored stimulus money that the government is now pulling out and appropriating to other states. Are you kidding me? Even Mr. Obama was pissed. And what about new jobs that would be created with the start of this project - building, managing, and giving people more incentive to use public transportation - puts money back into local roads and other projects. And the damn thing was already built, making it a dead-end abandoned project funded by fairies and pixie dust.

To top that it looks like he wants to privatize everything; schools, public landmarks, public services… and with no input from the people who voted for him (ugh). What about drug testing for people on welfare, that just got approved? Ok it sounds a tiny bit fair in theory considering the amount of abuse the system has, but who’s footing the bill? And hopefully this doesn’t have a link to his corporate interests, a.k.a. the drug testing company his wife owns, no way that’s not related! (It’s been noted that his own company isn’t going to be taking part of it, so at least he kinda knows the meaning of “conflict of interest”)

27% approval rating, good job. Make more phone calls, write more letters about you sucking your own ego, and hope that people forget your past.
