Jindal Chooses Party Over The People

[The Rabbi]

You merely provide your partisan hackery with your every post...We should all be thanking you for the evidence.

You're talking about "Jake, King of the Unsubstianted Statement." He loves to shoot his keyboard off about things he doesn't know word one about, spewing mistakes and mis-statements in the process. He is a buffoon, but harmless.

Jindal was right to turn it down. It is not hypocrisy to give out gov't grants after that because he was pretty well forced to take the money. Sanford tried all he could not to take the money (which comes with hefty strings, which is why Jindal turned it down) and was forced to by the feds and his own legislature.
I love how once Jindal became a talked about person in the GOP the news media started a campaign to destroy him.

This is why America is so screwed today,

“It’s our duty to obtain as much as we can to rebuild this region”

Repealed the 16th Amendment, let's go back to the days when state would have to fund their own project

I suppose you would be against help for states ravaged by Hurricane Katrina and such? Huh Scumbag?

Jindal's tenure as the Great Right Hope was shorter than Fred Thompson's, wasn't it?

When the rubber hit the road, Jindal hit the road for Iowa to fundraise.

Most of the Universities in the State were forced to apply for Stimulus funding after he gutted higher education. We lost 20+ jobs and multiple departments, without Federal Funding from the stimulus, it'd have been a lot worse. We're seeing stimulus money in the parishes already going to bridges and roads.

You missed the point. Rebuilding New Orleans was never about charity. Its about the Port of New Orleans and the fact that an enormous amount of oil and other goods flow in and out of that port every single day. The decision to not rebuild New Orleans wouldn't have just crippled the economy of Louisiana, it would have crippled the economy of the country.

 

[Oddball]

Reddest of red herrings.

If the rebuilding of NO is that important, then it behooves those who would profit directly the most to pony up the cash, rather than lining the pockets of a boatload of uninvolved politicians and bureaucrats to decide who "needs" OPM and who doesn't.

 

[Dr.Traveler]

...those who would profit directly the most....

Libertarian balogney.

Everyone benefits from an operational Port Of New Orleans so everyone has a stake in paying for it. There are some projects too big for private funding and to important to remain undone. Rebuilding New Orleans was one of them. Saying "...those who would profit directly the most...." should pay for it is the same as saying "I'm too cheap to do it, but I'd like to still reap the benefits."

Oh puhleeze.
Everyone benefits? Equally? Of course not. Some people will benefit tremendously, others only very indirectly. Let those who have the biggest stake pay the most.

So, are you suggesting higher taxes on the richest?

Yes, numbnuts, we're fucked because morons like you equate every junk project with a Cat 5 hurricane and thanks to Socialists Dems, you actually get to find these stupid fucking "Ideas"

No, I'm suggesting you shut your pie hole before you get bitch slapped again.

As I said earlier:

Unfortunately merely saying it doesn't make it so. We taxpayers have virtually unlimited demands on our funds. So the parties who stand to gain the most ought to be the ones footing the majority of the bill. It isn't a radical idea.

Correct. Those who benefit the most will pay the least. Hardly fair.

Cursing and name calling. The surest sign of intelligent dialogue.

It still remains, functional ports, roadways, and rail lines benefit everyone and as such are good targets for tax payer funding. The sliding scale of "...those that profit most..." is just as ridiculous as "tax the rich" dialogue.

If it benefits everyone, and a functional Port of New Orleans does, then everyone should pay.

 

[The Rabbi]

Well, no. What about the port of Galveston? The Port of Charleston? The Port of Savannah? They would seem to suffer from a functioning port of New Orleans. So maybe they should be exempt from paying?
I have to resort to curses because otherwise you might get the idea that your posts deserve to be taken seriously. They don't. They are stupid and reflect ignorance about economics, geography and life in general.
So clam up dickwad.
