Folks will likely have my head for this, but good job Bobby Jindal! Synopsis of Jindals directive: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and his administration took steps late Wednesday to strip food stamp benefits from those who loaded up their shopping carts knowing they had insufficient funds in their Electronic Benefits Transfer accounts during a system failure in October. Under Jindal’s new directive, recipients will lose benefits for one year, two years or permanently, depending on how many prior violations they have on their record. While Im not to particular keen to your inconsistent politics, this swift and necessary move to punish those that exploited the system, albeit possibly a bit harsher than I would, is necessary. Now, we just need the same exploiting politicians to fall on the sword when they abuse the system and their constituents. Did Bobby go to far and should we just understand the plight of the less fortunate in this circumstance?
