Rubio Wants More Welders and Less Philosphers

We know from the past Rubio doesn't like scientists as whenever he's asked about climate change he retorts: Look, I'm not a scientist, man.

I never get why if he's not a scientist he can tell us that he knows for a fact that climate change is not happening. 

Now we have something else he doesn't' like: philosophers.

"His plan to raise wages is to turn all these pointy headed philosophers into welders. I'm sure that's what's holding wages down-everyone is in philosophy now."

"Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) incorrectly stated that "welders make more money than philosophers" during Tuesday night's Republican presidential debate."

"Rubio was asked what he would "take back" that Democratic presidential candidates offered voters in government-paid benefits during their own debate. In response, he called raising the minimum wage a "disaster" and instead proposed making "higher education faster and easier to access, especially vocational training."

"For the life of me I don't know why we have stigmatized vocational education," Rubio said. "Welders make more money than philosophers. We need more welders and less philosophers."

"But data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics disprove that statement."

"Postsecondary philosophy and religion teachers earn an average annual wage of $71,350 while welders pocket $40,040 annually, according to the agency's May 2014 survey."

So Marco is not a scientist, he's not a philosopher, and he knows nothing about how to raise wages.

I have to say, his whole debate style is so grating. He always sounds like he practiced his answers word for word in front of a mirror or something-the only one worse in this regard is Carly Fiorina.
