“At the age of 24, Louisiana Gov. Mike Foster appointed him as Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, giving him authority over 40 percent of the state’s budget. Under his direction, Louisiana’s Medicaid program went from a $400 million deficit to a $220 million surplus.”
—Forbes Magazine writer Avik Roy, in a puff piece on Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal in October of 2011—right after Jindal won re-election to a second term and shortly before his poll numbers plummeted and less than three years before his plan for privatizing the LSU hospital system crashed and burned.



Jindal has hurt La. more than any other individual in history. Hey who better to hurt than the ones most vulnerable.
At age 24 and younger, Bobby Jindal’s missteps could be forgiven as due to lack of experience. For most people, wisdom comes with age and decisions and attitudes are tempered by real life. If, however, one lives an insular existence, surrounded by sycophants, like Governor Jindal, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber and others, the ability to gain wisdom is so limited as to be almost non-existent. The implications are obvious in Tom’s full piece below.
Sounds about right!
