This state has the worst collective of politicians in this country and it's not even close.
There is a reason for that. La. has a long history of devaluing the need for formal education. In the 1800s the jobs involved farming, hunting, trapping, and fishing. None of these jobs required more than a 3rd grade education.
In the 1900s construction, oil and gas moved into play. That required a 5th grade education.
Politicians realized that the average La. voter was distrustful (even frightened) by someone who went to college. So, the politicians learned to 'talk stupid.'
I know several of them personally. They told me that they learned to sound moronic to appeal to the dumb masses.
