Maybe don't rely on O&G like it's always going to be there.

We're probably in the top 5 poorest states, so not shocked.

Whenever I feel despondent over my personal debt, I go to the U.S. Debt Clock. Then I feel much better.

Sometime shite happens. I got laid off and had to have surgery. No insurance that shite was over $50k. Still paying it off years later. A lot has to do with overpriced healthcare.

I bet more often than not, it's not so much about not making much money as it is people spending too much. Spending too much on stupid stuff at that.
Tell a poor person they can't get nails done, buy cigs or smokes, etc etc and they would think you are crazy.
Dumb people make dumb decisions

Louisiana gonna Louisiana. All dem oil field folks living beyond their means

Most states have diversified from one type of industry. Not Louisiana though. Will always be this way until other types of industry can be introduced. I'm not talking service industry jobs either.

If you are 35 and under and have any type of skill or education get the frick out. Things will only get worse here and the idiots in BR dont have a clue whats going on around them.

And the idiots in BR need to do what?

Give out more incentives?
Raise taxes?
Give out more free stuff?

That's all I see from the governor.

I had a credit card opened in my name and charged off. No one will remove it.

Joke is on them. My bureau can support the 4k collection for another year

The governor of 20 months? see how stupid that sounds when you look at our problems?

I could list 10 thing we could do that would help but none of it will make through the legislature.

Want to fix LA? disband and send home the LA House and Senate, the improvements would be immediate.

I actually found out this week that I have two that went into collections. We have been hit an miss on them for years. I hate that I get a bill for every single doctor visit, and sometimes more than one depending on the nature of the visit. Had to take my daughter to her kidney Dr. By the time the day was over we had accumulated 3 more seperate bills to add to the pile. One for the visit, one for imaging and one for something else, maybe bloodwork.

If they would just give a person one different account, it would be much easier to keep track of.
