Came across this interesting story from a Shreveport, LA news channel.
Seems Joe Biden attacked Bobby Jindal for running a state that has lost 400 jobs a day asking "what would he do?"
Surprise. Surprise. When the facts were checked, it turned out Louisiana has actually ADDED jobs.
"In December, Louisiana was the only state in the nation besides the District of Columbia, according to the national press release that added employment over the month," says Patty Granier with the Louisiana Workforce Commission. According to her, not only is Louisiana not losing jobs. "The state gained 3,700 jobs for the seasonally adjusted employment," Granier said of the most recent figures.
While the Lousiana unemployment rate has gone up to 5.9% from 5.3%, this is being blamed on a bigger workforce in the state, not economic fundamentals. Even still, that is less than the national average of 7.2%.
Bottom line. When liberals run scared as they should from the threat that Jindal poses to them in about 4 years' time, the name of the game is to lie. It takes time to check a lie and by then, some damage has been done. Not everyone reads or watches the rebuttal to a lie.
