ho cares. Bottom line: is more revenue coming into this state because of this program? If the answer is yes, then just fix your budget so that you can pay for other things. If the pie is growing because of this, then LA needs to find a way to make it work.

Who cares? Maybe LSU cares. Maybe the other universities or secondary education cares.

And is the pie growing?

It's not like it wouldn't grow at all if the state collected the taxes and spent the dollars on other things like professors, highways, and etc.

The question is whether or not this is the best way to help our economy, and at what point do we need to cap the program or even cut back on it.

The state auditor studied the program several years back and determined it was a big loser.

It certainly is a feel good deal, a lot of people love seeing La. associated with big movies and movie stars. The question is can we afford more and more of this economic welfare?
