| Gov. Jindal...just some advice...close your mouth and don't run for President |
This is just too easy:
"BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Year
after year, Louisiana didn't have enough money to cover its expenses,
yet Gov. Bobby Jindal refused to roll back income tax cuts or
ever-increasing corporate tax breaks. Instead, he raided reserve funds
and sold off state property.
Jindal
suggested job growth from his economic development wins would replenish
those assets once the recession ended. It hasn't — and money from the
lucrative oil industry has taken a nose dive with crude prices. Now, the
Republican is running out of short-term patches and is struggling to
plug a $1.6 billion budget hole just as he tries to build support for a
possible 2016 presidential run.
Funding
for higher education and health care services will almost certainly be
subject to cuts deeper than what they already have endured in recent
years, and Jindal's successor will have to repay a string of debts and
IOUs.
"They've used all the
smoke that was in the can and all the mirrors that they could buy and
now they're out of tricks. Their solution is to gut higher education
like a fish," said Republican state Treasurer John Kennedy".
By all means...he sure is presidential timbre.
