Actually... doing nothing is often better than doing the wrong thing. Note (for example) the commencement of the Hippocratic Oath, "First, do not harm."

It's also far easier to do a poorly thought out wrong thing and claim a hypothestical success than it is to do the right thing and get a real success.

But to be honest, I don't believe that's what Jindal did. I think he was just grandstanding, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.

If they had have been put up earlier they would have completely washed away by now.

You don't know that and besides, they could have kept up on them. Here's something to chew on. If they were up earlier maybe the oil wouldn't be in the lake or in the marshes. Ever think of that?

Just to have them was away again, never ending cycle, makes a lot of sense....
