“We cannot protect people from making bad decisions in their lives.”
–Sen. Elbert Guillory (D-Opelousas), commenting on the possibility that retirees may spend all of their lump-sum pension benefits being proposed as part of Gov. Piyush Jindal’s retirement reform package. He went on to say that retirees may have to apply for food stamps, welfare and other government programs. Still, he somehow managed to insist that the retirement reforms would save the state money.
