Jindal rejects Medicaid money

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is a lean, mean "soak-the-poor" machine.

First, Jindal rejected money from the stimulus package that would have aided the unemployed. With the country just now coming out of the worst economic woes in 75 years, he sure picked a hell of a time for that, didn't he?

Now he's rejecting more stimulus money - money that would have gone to Medicaid programs.

In other words, Jindal rejected money that was supposed to go to medical care for the poor and uninsured. He came up with the usual bullshit excuses.

Poor in Louisiana? Well, now you're not going to get the medical care you should get, all because Bobby Jindal decided not to let you have it.

Bobby Jindal is supposed to be working for the people of Louisiana - not for the Republican faithful who want him to show what a big conservative he is.
