When do the red state fanatics come tell us they get what they voted for? State will completely meltdown unless oil rebounds.

I find it funny once again that it's all blamed on a "socialist" even though he's been in office what a month? Can you even generate an almost billion dollar debt in weeks? Never mind we're talking about the government in US, the definition of wasteful spending.

LOL at "this is not a scare tactic."

It's SEC country. There is a higher probability that a pitchfork-wielding crowd storms the capital and pulls the governor from his chair to tar & feather him than there is that football at LSU would be dropped.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $2.40 billion per day since September 30, 2012. That is....Lou-see-anna Fast!

I will bet $1,000 that LSU football is not shut down. I will give anyone 1,000-1 odds to take my bet.

It's not completely out of the question that Monroe and Lafayette drop football. This isn't the first time that idea has been floated.

What does Malloy have to do with this? If any state is next in line, it would be Kansas.
I believe it was clear Malloy has nothing to do with Louisiana state budget deficit - only CT's bottom line.

Where is CT batting in your lineup? Cleanup?

I actually moved to this hell hole (Baton Rouge) a few months ago. It's not that the football will get shut down, it is that the school is funded through 4/30... so every student would get INC's for all their classes which won't be completed. So the football & all sports teams will be academically ineligible.

Gas is $1.34 though and the roads have the biggest potholes I have ever seen, even in the capitol city, axel breakers. Whole state is a corrupt racket.

Louisiana is out of the business of funding education. This is what it comes down to.

I moved to Baton Rouge from Pennsylvania over 32 years ago. Just wait, you will see many more corrupt rackets here than you already have.

Regarding the budget deficit, as a Tea Party adherent, Bobby Jindal gave away a budget surplus (around $865 million) as a tax refund upon entering office eight years ago, confident in his adminstration's projections that oil prices would remain high.

Outside economists told him that such rosy projections were folly, to no avail.

He had budget deficits from that day forward. He refused to raise any tax and cut education and health care for eight years.

He sold state buildings and cars and leased them back to generate "one time cash" and stripped the state agencies of Federal cash (like road construction funds for Dept. of Transportation) to plug the budget gap.

The continuing decline in oil prices accelerated the problem.

The Jindal chickens have come home to roost.

Bobby Jindal had the nerve to run for President. Pretty incredible.

LSU is the only thing people care about here. I don't think words exist to express that to people that live in sane parts of the usa how obsessed these people are. Craziest boneyarder would be a "casual fan" here. Terry - I wear UConn gear all day so say hi.

It is clear Malloy has nothing to do with it but you keep bringing up Malloy in a thread about Louisiana. Got it.

Having grown up in Baton Rouge and loving the family I have there, I am grateful every day that we moved to CT and I got a quality public education. Everything said here is spot on. Jindal created this mess, but JBE is just using scare tactics. The AD gave over $5 million back to the school from their profits, and I think TAF (the booster club) just gave another $10 million.

Their state lottery does not go to education, but instead goes to the "General Fund" which is basically used as a piggy bank by all the corrupt politicians down there (on both sides of the aisle). Whew, glad we moved away when we did.
