In a Politico piece Monday, Jindal wrote that "the nearly trillion dollar stimulus has not stimulated," but somehow, in spite of terrible government intervention, "things in Louisiana are looking up." How did that happen? It might have something to do with the millions of dollars in stimulus money that went to the state.

Yes, of course. This is Like Sanford saying he is a fiscal conservative while he uses state money for first class flights to Argentina to bang his mistress...

Like Texas, LA just refused to take the unemployement part of the stimulus that would have required unemployment for part time workers as a permanent change to state laws.

LA took the rest of the stimulus.

This is not news to anyone.

Exactly.

Or to expand the example a bit to an international level, the Europeans that bash America for being greedy and stupid in the housing crisis. Which now many of their economies are floundering, and some failing, because they invested in it as well to reap the fake rewards.

That was an optional part of the stimulus package to the states.
