Bobby Jindal Options

Am I the only one who found his speech to be weird? Like he's addressing the nation as the Gov. of Louisiana? Whether if I agree with him is another thing, but I feel it was rather inappropriate.

So, it seems that he doesn't like the "irresponsible" spending of the Democratic party and government intervention. It's quite funny that the lack of government intervention is how we have gotten here. We had known for over a year that the subprime mortgage crisis was serious, but nothing was done, until the whole financial and banking industry nearly collapsed and froze credit.

Today in Washington, some are promising that government will rescue us from the economic storms raging all around us. Those of us who lived through Hurricane Katrina, we have our doubts.

Supposedly he wasn't even in New Orleans during Katrina.

While some of the projects in the bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending. It includes $300 million to buy new cars for the government, $8 billion for high-speed rail projects, such as a magnetic levitation line from Las Vegas to Disneyland, and $140 million for something called volcano monitoring.

Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington, D.C.

For the governor of a state that it still suffering from the effects of a devastating natural disaster, one would think that he would want some sort of monitoring for a potential future natural disaster.

I don't think the issue is whether or not volcano monitoring is a good place to spend money but rather does it stimulate the economy, and if so how much so. The argument is pretty much a moot point though because important items will get paid for whether its a stimulus bill, a budget bill, or attached to some random bill.
