This was reported on MSNBC and CNN
Following a Governors’ Conference yesterday at the White House, Gov (?) Bobby Jindal couldn’t wait to get in front of the press and make his “campaign” statement, if one could call it that. After what was called a good, bi-partisan meeting by both parties with constructive results, while in front of the press he accused the President of "raising the white flag" on job growth and turning America into "a minimum wage economy." Gov. Dan Malloy, D Conn, had enough and pushed in front of him at the podium and tore into him. Hooray for Gov. Malloy. Even the Republican Governors behind him at the mike seemed to applaud him with smiles on their faces. If you thought Jindals’ Opposition speech after the election of our President was bad, this was even worse and it was obvious he had no clue and had done no discovery with respect to what he was talking about.
Yes, I know the Welfare system is in desperate need of
reform (some are making more than those on min wage) but that has been a
collective result of several administrations and bears a separate discussion.
This President has had five (5) years of steady job growth
and could be more if the Republicans would spring for the money to address the
decaying infrastructure and power grids in our country. The additional jobs would increase ordinary
income and Social Security revenues and provide a reasonable “Rate of Return”
(ROI), not to mention bringing us back up to the powerful country that we were. I have to admit partisanship in this
instance. Jindal is one of the biggest
jokes this country (world??) has ever seen.
