I know trolling IB on this issue is somewhat of a spectator sport on this board, but quite frankly I'm surprised more posters aren't mad as hell that the state forks over a quarter billion dollars annually to Hollywood. I suppose all of you Rand Paul fans aren't as big into economic freedom as you claim.
This is what puzzles me.
BBONDS25 is still upset that I pointed out Jindal's brother works for Gibson Dunn, a law firm that boasts it has the largest practice in the country relating to film and entertainment business.
He simply went nuts when I pointed out the obvious conflict.

I don't have a problem with continuing the subsidies for film production. I think there is a value we are getting back in both positive PR and ancillary industries, and we probably are getting a better return on investment there than many programs funded by the LT Govs office.
But there has to be a major rework in thinking about the way it's doled out. And above all else, there has to be a cap.
