Jindals whole campaign was to improve healthcare and education the two biggest cuts in his budget. He never seems to cut fund to services of the Ivory Tower they all live on. And as far as the oils spill the seafood is no where near as plentiful as before the oils spill, I know because I live in an area that is mostly fishermen. If you think Katrina monies went to just homeowners your wrong most of it went to pay people to distribute the funds . Then Jindal slowed the process by bringing in people even slower in processing applications. He later takes whats left and uses it for state projects and says the mitigation program is out of money with people still waiting. Unless your state produces something your a consumer state like in the north east(Maryland). Louisiana produces most of the energy that powers this country and a large portion of it's food, seafood just a part of it. When winter rolls around and fuel oil is ten bucks a gallon try drilling in your own state, or burning your furniture to stay warm.
Let's do this everybody take everything you own(and I mean everything) and go throw it in the ocean or what ever body of water is nearby and see how you like it. Try going to look for something and then realize it's gone because it was pre Katrina. For someone to imply that people were better of after going through the trauma of Katrina losing everything waiting years to have a place to live and then rebuilding their lives, needs to endure the same ordeal.
Also the oil companies actually made more money off the clean up than the oil they lost. Two weeks before the spill the oil recovery comp that did the work was bought by big oil.
Go to Belize and ask if they have recovered from their oil spill 20 years ago, the fish are gone and tar balls still wash ashore to this day.
