Upon leaving office, the democrat governor (female) left a billion dollar surplus in the state treasury. When Jindal assumed office, he raised the spending level by a billion dollars. He has been in office for almost eight years, and it would be impossible and boring to recount all he has done. He has been running for president for almost eight years, and will leave the state in financial shambles. His supposed spending cuts are outrageous, laughable. He raised spending drastically.
Only partly true. The GOVERNMENT sector is in shambles. Private sector employment is quite healthy, if one wants to work.
We have about 1.5X too many higher education facilities for our population, but no one wants to touch it, because the newspapers and TV stations swarm when higher ed is cut. They’ve become jobs programs, instead of universities.
All that said, I was critical early on of Jindal when he busted the spending cap in 2008. But his attempt to take on the government deadhead union, I’m ALL for.
