Segment 2 The Jobs Czar for Rick Scott in Florida had some past problems with his company that was doing well before it went under. When the company was gone, he went after unemployment benefits despite the fact that he got a nice severance package and was already worth lots of money.

He even claimed that collecting unemployment gave him a better understanding of the department’s goals. Since understanding the system, he’s implemented changes that makes collecting unemployment unnecessarily difficult for regular people.
