Gov. Rick Scott signs bill to speed up executions in Florida

http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/gov-rick-scott-signs-bill-to-speed-up-executions-in-florida/2126764

From the article:
"If Scott were to sign death warrants for the 13 eligible inmates, and their executions were to continue as planned, he will be on schedule to put to death 21 people since he took office in January 2011. The only other recent governor who executed that many people was former Gov. Jeb Bush, who ordered the execution of 21 convicted killers over an eight-year period."

Keep in mind, Jeb had two terms, this guy wants to do it in one.

Government cant' spend a dime correctly to help anyone.

But killing people, the government never makes a mistake.

I know that's simplistic but seriously, besides wars and executions, what other functions do tea baggers support?

Just like Governor Dubya Bush.
