I agree that the film subsidies are against free market principles and are generally bad (overall) for the state's finances.

I also agree that there's historically a problem with the budgets and I think to some extent it is done on purpose in order to circumvent the legislative budget process.

However, it should be noted that the current fiscal year just started and this shortfall is for the NEXT fiscal year which won't even start for another 10.5 months. Plenty of time to make adjustments during the 2015 legislative session. The real pain is when mid-year budget cuts occur.

Also, I can't stand it when people refer to Jindal as "Piyush." Jindal's name is irrelevant to me. Just makes people look like backwoods idiots when they bring up his Indian (dot) background.

Well that is legal name. He has no problem telling people he choose Bobby after Bobby Brady in an attempt to fit in.

I will stop calling him Piyush when Bill Cunningham and other conservatives stop saying Barrack Hussein Obama or BHO.

This. I've made it clear on here that I'm not a fan of Jindal. In fact, I flat out dislike the way his administration has behaved and how he has acted like a flat-out coward on several issues.

That said, when someone starts out their complaint about Jindal using Piyush, I immediately stop reading.
