re: Mexican standoff in the La. legislature.

The fact is Edwards and the legislature needed to make major cuts in spending when he took over in 2015, but instead they tried to keep the status quo and add Medicaid Expansion. With the state in recession and folks leaving that is impossible without major tax increases that hurt the economy and push more folks out the door.

If we had begun to change out spending habits three years ago then a lot of this could have been avoided.
