Second, while the Governor certainly didn't create the problem, the only thing he is doing to resolve the problem is cut, cut, cut. It's doesn't take a genius to do that.

Good post but I thought this part needed to be addressed.

(1) In 2002, Louisiana passed the Stelly tax to fund LSU and higher education. Jindal repealed the Stelly tax in 2008.

(2) Jindal granted the wealthiest a tax break. That caused 359M less, contributing to the revenue hole.

(3) Louisiana has 172M in rainy day funds to use this fiscal year and Jindal refuses to use them.

(4) Now's he asking the federal govt for a waiver to cut education even more.
