The State of Louisiana

Bobby Jindal is on the Sean Hannity show right now talking about how proud he is that his state has outperformed the nation since he’s been in office as far as jobs created, income generation, etc. He’s also pretty proud that — as he mentioned last night — he cut taxes six times since he’s been governor.

So how much of his ability to drastically cut taxes and brag about the solid economy of his state is due to the rest of the country (you know — the BLUE states) subsidizing the reconstruction of New Orleans?

Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan and more Reagan. You know, the guy who never met a spending bill he didn’t like. Just I write this, Jindal says “spending bill.” Amazing the revisionist history.

Sean talking about how every time Obama speaks the stock market tanks and that it’s really frustrating for him because he has no retirement funds left because of the state of the stock market. Huh? As of right now, the DOW is down 500 points to 7500 since Obama took over on January 20th. Hmmm. In 2000 when Bush took over, it was at 10,500. Who are you really mad at, Sean?

Rejecting the stimulus. Oh yeah. All these Republican governors talking to anyone who will hear them about how they’re “rejecting the stimulus money.” Well, Jindal just stated he’s rejecting $100 million in extended unemployment benefits. I guess the question Hannity should have asked him is this: Since Jindal is suddenly so opposed to “mortgaging our children’s futures,” how much is his state taking in stimulus funds? You know, in addition to the money to rebuild New Orleans? The answer is $7.68 billion.

Hmmm. $100 million vs. $7.68 billion. Now that’s something to be really proud of. These people are such hypocrites.
