This new governor actually expanded medicaid. That's a massive increase in spending.


I thought it was federally provided until 2020

According to JBE, we have a projected $870 million budget deficit. U.S. state average per capita spending is $5,457 (in 2014). Louisiana per capita spending is $5,867. Lower state spending to the U.S. average (minus $410 per 4.67 million La. citizens) and Louisiana saves $1.9 billion.

Edwards reminds me of Obama talks a good game before getting elected. Then the first time you hear him speak he sounds like a complete buffoon and Jack arse! That son of a bitch knew what deficit we were in and never once in his campaign did he threaten anything about not playing Lsu football! That right there would have never got him elected

He supported every higher ed cut that the Jindal administration made and failed to represent the people by coming up with a better balanced budget plan, so yes he holds as much responsibility as everyone else.
