Jindal is the one in charge of the government sector, the same sector he would be in charge of if he were president.

Except for maybe some community colleges, the number of higher education facilities is about the same as it was 50 years ago.

Jindal has cut about $700 million from higher education. Look it up. The resultant cost will price a lot of students out of college.

Louisiana, like most Southern states, does not have powerful unions. He turned public education upside down for teachers, and there are all kinds of teacher unions. They were helpless.

As long as we have “higher education” facilities in our state with 11% graduation rates (SUNO, look it up), and remain open and continue to be funded with taxpayer dollars, then they have too much of my money. No private enterprise of any kind could stay in business that provided such a poor product.

There were too many “universities” in Louisiana 50 years ago, just as there are today. About 1/3 of them need to be shuttered, right now.

Any time government, any government at any level, receives less of my money, it is a good thing. If you want to send them more of YOUR money, help yourself.
