Is Florida that stupid as to keep this loser?
Internal email messages uncovered by Health News Florida reveal that Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) is knowingly citing inaccurate cost estimates to justify his refusal to expand Floridas Medicaid program. Though the governors office is fully aware that the numbers are wrong, Scott continues to use them anyway, the documents show.

Medicaid. He made up numbers to "prove" high-speed rail was too costly as well.

I can't even figure out exactly what kind of evil asshole Rick Scott is. I don't see what he's getting out of his constant campaign to destroy the state of Florida and its people. Maybe it's as simple as being a greedy, corrupt, anti-government corporatist out to prove that government doesn't work by destroying it from within.
He is absolutely the most destructive politician I have ever seen in Florida. Even the usual Republican good 'ole boys don't seem to like him.

And therefore I'm sure he thinks his numbers are correct even when it's clear they aren't.
