In his zeal to privatize everything in sight in Florida:
Florida food stamp contracts outsourced by JPMorgan Chase/Citicorp to India in Jeb Bush years (Thread from 2009)
Which was inevitably followed by this: (also in the thread above)

TALLAHASSEE — JPMorgan Chase officials announced Friday that they will stop using Indian call centers to answer customer service questions from Floridians on food stamps.
The announcement was made the same day the state announced a 9.7 unemployment rate, the highest since 1975.
"No future calls will go to India," Department of Children and Families Secretary George Sheldon said. "This is permanent."
The Palm Beach Post published a story Thursday about the frustration of a Jupiter woman who reached a customer service call center in India while trying to obtain state assistance. The state contracts with JPMorgan Chase to run parts of the Florida food stamp program and uses two customer service centers in India. The company will instead route calls to its centers in Ohio and Illinois.
.....
Several Democrats in the state legislature objected to the contract with JPMorgan earlier this decade when learning the company uses overseas call centers. But the move was part of Gov. Jeb Bush's push to privatize state services and Republican lawmakers rejected attempts to keep jobs from moving overseas.
Outsourcing jobs has become a hot-button issue as the state unemployment rate has doubled in less than a year. The state's food stamp rolls have jumped 58 percent in the past two years, the highest increase in the country.
.....
So, today, when Jeb Bush telegraphs his contempt for poor people by pledging to dismantle the federal food stamp program; to dismantle the federal housing assistance program; to dismantle the federal cash assistance program--- the lifelines for poor people in all corners of this country, it comes as absolutely no surprise. To send it all the the states as a "block grant" will be the last time that money will be seen, as it will surely be steered into the pockets of his cronies on the take at the state government level--- sucked into the General Fund and never to be seen again. Even Rubio salivates at that one.
Jeb Bush is one the meanest politicians in modern times, who is grasping at total power with all the money and connections that Daddy has, lurking in the shadows, to help him.

Andy Cush at Gawker rips into this @$$&*%#:
Bush’s plan, rolled out today, would also dismantle federal housing assistance programs and TANF, a federal program that provides cash assistance to needy families. The money would be funneled to grants for states to develop their own welfare programs, meaning that anti-welfare state officials—such as Paul LePage, the totally not racist governor of Maine—would be free to drastically cut back the assistance their less fortunate constituents receive.
Reuters speculates that the move has to do with Bush’s effort to “position himself as the most serious, substantive candidate” in the 2016 GOP race, and it’s true: nothing says “conservative bona fides” like transparent contempt for the poor. It probably also has to do with the fact that his current poll numbers are just barely enough to keep him on the main stage for next Thursday’s debate.
And, once again, the "Mainstream Media" will not report on his sordid history as governor.
Meanwhile, he's lying in wait for a brokered convention.
Bank on it.
That helps.
