Jindal looks like Alfred E. Neuman. The way he has ran the state of La. budget into the ground with a huge deficit he should adopt the What Me Worry motto. He is done as a Presidential aspirant as is the rest of the tea party gang.

He's an idiot, and it has nothing to do with race. When he got into office, he was a fast talking politician with some seemingly intelligent ideas that didn't talk about religion. Now, he's wearing belt buckles and talking with a slight southern drawl and holds public prayers on public property. He sold this state out and is somebody completely different than what we were told. This state is headed for a nosedive in the swamp because of his radical policies in a pursuit to run for president on an agenda of cutting taxes and government services.

The man came in with a $1B surplus and every year after that we had a deficit. This year it'll be a $1.4B deficit.

The following proves otherwise:

Lawmakers end surplus dispute, agree La. has $179M available

My advice to you is to check yourself before you call someone else an idiot. It took all of 10 seconds on Google to disprove your claims.

As a general rule, if you need to use false claims, insults, and misrepresentation in your arguments then your arguments themselves are weak. And if you arguments are weak, perhaps you should reconsider your positions.

He likely was referring to the projected shortfall of 1.4 billion this coming year. Just because bobby and his cronies had to reach into their pockets and "find" that unaccounted for money , doesn't change the fact that a surplus of 150 million is a lot less than 1 billion.

They robbed pensions and other sources that shouldn't be touched because it is state law to not go red for the year. However ...

I voted for the guy in 2007 btw, so I did reconsider my position.

He looks native American in the portrait. Budget wise, he sounds like a minor league Obama with those deficit figures. Maybe not nearly as pathetic as Obama, but still not too good.

Louisiana feeds off of oil. Since the prices dropped in half, so did the revenue and it will force the state to make cuts...happens periodically when the oil price dips, nothing Jindal can do but adjust the budget.
