Some Politicians Are Not Good At Hiding Their Motives

The voter I.D. laws, for one obviously. But Rick Scott wants to penalize students who will pursue lower paying jobs. As Taborrok notes, if jobs in these fields are unavailable, students are already being penalized for choosing them - they accept that job prospects are worse and the ones available will be lower-paying or have fewer benefits, since the market does not demand them. The point of this legislation is not really to get people in STEM, it's to punish people who tend to be academics or liberals.
