Hey, the AP finally writes an article about how government spends too much, although they portray it as "refusing" to get rid of tax breaks in order to cover "expenses," as if its a mortgage payment or food or medical bills. Gotta love that propaganda.
I'm waiting for the next article: Year after, the United States didn't have enough money to cover its spending, but Obama and Congress refused to cut spending.
Send the authorities to go look in the freezer of every Democrat in Louisiana politics. William Jefferson was probably not the only one with a stash hidden in his freezer.
As late as February 2012, so-called Katrina victims were occupying FEMA trailers. FEMA forced to recall them and dispose because of formaldehyde claims, etc.
The entitlement population of N.O. was dispersed to multiple states throughout the south. I saw an out of date LA tag and Katrina occupant just last year.
Katrina is the entitlement gift that keeps on giving. Still
Now we know who the leftists are scared of. That was easy now wasn’t it...
The oil market isn’t helping them any at this time.

Moody’s might downgrade Louisiana’s credit rating for 3 main reasons
An influential New York rating service told Louisiana fiscal officers Wednesday morning
that it would decide and perhaps as early as next week whether to lower the state’s credit rating.
The officials at Moody’s Investors Service were concerned about the way the state had
structured its budget, the drop in the price of oil and the decline in revenues, said State
Treasurer John N. Kennedy.
A lower rating would make investors less willing to purchase Louisiana’s bonds, which
would increase the cost of borrowing for state construction and other projects.
Kennedy, Commissioner of Administration Kristy Nichols, House Appropriations Committee
Chairman Jim Fannin, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Jack Donahue, Lela M. Folse,
director of the State Bond Commission, and Renee Boicourt. the Bond Commission’s financial
adviser, were on the 8 a.m. call.
Moody’s said only two options are on the table: downgrade the credit rating or affirm
the rating for a period of time to get Louisiana’s fiscal house in order.

No snarky tone on this tweet, however, when Hitlery was trying to forcefeed Mary Landrieu down the throats of Louisiana's citizens:
It seems to me that Jindal needs more time in office. I didn’t think the mess he inherited was as fixable as it has been so far.
“The governor has successfully trimmed some spending by cutting more than 30,000 full-time state employees. He’s reduced the state’s vehicle fleet, privatized much of the Medicaid program, turned over the state’s charity hospitals to outside managers and looked for ways to make state government more efficient.”
Sounds like a helluva good plan to me.
Per Poltics1.com, poll out in LA from “Triumph Campaigns” (never heard of them, they have no website and a dead twitter feed)
