Gov. Rick Scott changes the math for '700,000 jobs'
Source: St. Petersburg Times

Rick Scott, the candidate, ran on a platform of creating jobs. That's why the businessman-turned-politician won a bruising Republican primary last summer, he said.

Scott was rated a "full flop" by Politfact. He is a liar! When he is ineffective - he lies! What a crook and a crock!
