Imagine all the great things that could have been done in Florida if our nasty Governor Crook Scott would not have put politics before the people of Florida and had applied for the $172M from The affordable Care Act. Look at how much good is being done with 600k, then imagine $172M. Thanks governor Scott! If Romney gets in you can kiss any Federal Grant goodbye.

C'mon man. Your bloodpressure will never go down cause you still hatin. Scott did good for declining to apply for any obama grant cause they have so many hidden attachments that it aint nutn but bait n switch. No matter what money you throw into education, it's yalls CULTURE that's gonna say if a kid learns or not anyways. Just like you blamin Scott for your failures, the media is teaching these kids that its always gonna be someone else fault. OBTW: These kids already learn more on youtube than they do in the classroom. Now get backs to work greeting customers. Ya heard me.

A weak mind exposed in TheHammer. Instead of sayin "cant you spell proper", you shoulda said cant you write proper. I'll take my high standards 5th grade level before your worthless 12th grade govt school indoctrination. Dont worry about how someone writes, pay attention to its content. Your parents musta bought your Accelerated Readed sticker off of Ebay. Im just sayin.

C'mon man. It's obvious my gold teefisis are more valuable than your useless liberal arts Certificates of Completions cause your sentence structure above would barely get you a GED. You just mad cause you either too old to do your own yard, or aint man enough to handle an electric weedeater. Double up on your Centrum Silver and maybe you'll understand the jist of what I be writing.
