Good summary article here about what an absolute turd of a governor that cretin Jindal really was. Basically the state has been completely shattered on every service it's obligated to provide and may never recover from this disaster. Makes the Klein austerity years here in Alberta look responsible and far-seeing in comparison.

Sorry, brother, but that's like blaming the current regime in Beirut for why Lebanon is a mess.

Louisiana is fucked up from the ground up. Has been since the end of the US Civil War.

Yeah but your argument, that's like giving a diabetic person AIDS and then justifying it by saying "but he was already sick".

As the article mentions, Louisiana had a surplus when Jindal came into office. It may never have been a great place, it wasn't the pending disaster it is now.

Doesn't give the most recent guy a pass on what he did, not when his entire policy was apparently to cause as much damage to the state as possible. If states rights is the entire purpose of this part of the right-wing then isn't causing damage to a state government kind of going against the entire ethic? :?

States rights is also an argument for the left-wing as they're asserting their right to legalize marijuana over the objections of the Federal government.

And the bit about the Fed avoiding damage to a state government hasn't bothered Obama when he's been persecuting Arizona over illegal aliens, Michigan over right-to-work, Wisconsin over ending the political power of teacher's unions, and etc.

Big difference between standard feds vs. states politics like that and a sitting governor deliberately impoverishing his own state because he sold his soul to one of Grover Norquist's sociopathic no-tax-ever contracts. Someone who cared about him as a person should have done an exorcism on Jindal when he came back home all fucked in the head and meaner than shit after attending his first CPAC. :|

That's funny. I went to a CPAC back in 1994 and came back more liberal that I'd been before. :mrgreen:

To put this in perspective, Louisiana's population is just over 10% larger than Alberta, however their $30B budget is only about 60% of Alberta's $48B budget.

The argument is like saying "The Republican Party is weak and lacks leadership and vision," and then nominating the cancer that is Donald Trump.

Anti-establishment vibe running wild in Michigan with both Trump and Sanders earning huge wins there tonight.
