Rick Scott ain't buying you lunch, kids. From Creative Loafing.

I have a feeling Rick Scott does not realize he is on the wrong page even with his beloved Tea Party supporters.

No state funds shall be used to keep critical social programs running during the federal shutdown.

Florida will not buy food for poor women and young children, if federal dollars run out soon to pay for them.

That is the order from Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who told his agency directors on Thursday that no state funds shall be used to keep critical social programs running during the federal shutdown.

...Federal funds that pay for infant formula and healthy foods for pregnant women through Women Infants and Children (WIC) program will run out Nov. 1.

....Other entitlement programs at immediate risk include Vocational Rehabilitation and Blind Services and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. Overall, 35 percent of the state’s $74 billion budget comes from federal funds, according to CBS News.

I don't think we have a clue how much harm is being done to the state by Florida's Rick Scott Republicans. We will unfortunately learn about it in the future, I fear.

I don't know much about her. However since Crist is now a Democrat, I am inclined to believe he is probably the only one who can win at this point. We can't afford much more of Rick Scott.
