Rick Scott proves again that he's just ignorant...

"How many more jobs you think there is for anthropology in this state?" Scott asked a group of Tallahassee business leaders Tuesday. "You want to use your tax dollars to educate more people that can't get jobs in anthropology? I don't."

In one day some of the local students put together this cute response; it's really worth watching.

Meanwhile, Scott has his facts wrong (again):
The job outlook for anthropologists is excellent. It is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2018. This occupation is also projected to experience faster growth than most other occupations that also require at least a master's degree (The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).

"TAMPA — Justin Shiver came away from a year in Iraq with one overriding thought: we need more anthropologists.

They are the ones really making a difference over there, said Shiver, who worked as a combat medic. They help soldiers and locals work together. They are the reason Americans haven't been rejected as enemies. More than anyone with a gun, Shiver says, anthropologists save lives.

That's why the 26-year-old University of South Florida student, who's studying to become an anthropologist himself, was so confused by Gov. Rick Scott's comments this week."

Meanwhile, Scott continues to LIE!

Gov. Rick Scott has just released a statement "setting the record straight" on his top campaign promise: to create 700,000 jobs with a pro-business agenda that hinges on corporate tax cuts and fewer regulations.

The statement casts doubt on a prediction from state economists, including those who remain on the governor's office payroll, who estimated before Scott ran for governor that current state policy would create about 1 million jobs the next seven years. Scott's 7-7-7 plan covers the same time.

The statement also says something Scott has been unwilling to in recent weeks: that his plan will indeed create 700,000 jobs in addition to normal growth. Scott's statement points out that the state unemployment was increasing when he was elected, a trend that has since reversed. Scott does not mention the state started adding jobs before his most significant policies took effect.
