re: JBE running on his record of "saving" Louisiana--Louisiana to him is government

Defending Jindal is a non-starter imho...period (2 billion dollars of debt for Louisiana voters).

False, the state doesn’t borrow money to run the govt. Jindal by law balanced the budget every year. You can argue he used one time money (just as Edwards did) but he never left the state in debt.

But I’m not defending Jindal; he abandoned his post and fostered this boondoggle we are stuck with (Film Tax Credits). He could have pushed through tax reforms and reformed the nursing home industry and didn’t do it. The only thing he did right was not raise taxes.
