Gov. Bobby Jindal spoke at the Rally for Economic Survival in Lafayette, La. against the Obama Administrations job-killing offshore drilling moratorium, saying it would be bad for their security and economy.
This moratorium does nothing to reduce our enemy needs in this country. All this moratorium does is send more American dollars, more American jobs overseas sometimes these countries arent even friendly towards us. Somebodies got to explain to me how sending more dollars and more jobs overseas is good for Americas economy, good for security, good for the state of Louisiana, cause Im here to tell you its not, he said during his address.
Reports show a drilling moratorium will cost the Gulf states thousands of jobs and the U.S. economy would lose $2.8 billion in economic activity and the federal treasurers will lose $220 million in lost tax revenue all in just in the first six months. As for the number of jobs lost, recent reports indicate that it could be as many as 120,000. The companies currently drilling in the Gulf region would simply relocate overseas, sending the jobs with them.
