From an early age I began to understand Louisiana a lot like South Carolina had many intricate minds, athletes, and musical inspirations. Ranging from Percy Miller to Bob Livingston. And today in the political world people are questioning the antics of Governor Bobby Jindal. What is Jindal stirring up? I do not know but I know it should not be bitter. But his adrenaline and excitement has numbed some of his sensibilities towards voters.
Jindal is trying to cook up a tasty gumbo. But in his political product he is missing the catfish (brainfood), vegetables for nutrients, and warmth for readiness to serve to citizens. Although, this can be fixed he has some work to do. However, his political positions give him advantage to to repair the GOP into conscious conservatism again. Still, internal strife in the state government is hampering his appeal.
His voucher program being ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court was one aspect of it. Jindal should have personally shared his affections about Jesus Christ’s influence in his life on his own time — not through that type of voucher program. Especially since he went to public schools during his k-12 years. It just doesn’t appear to be authentic to many voters.
Additionally, these educational reforms may be contrary to civil liberties advancements. Perhaps a simple way for him to increase parent-teacher interaction would be to provide a tax credit for all parents who attend all parent-teacher association meetings during the year and encourage participation of parents in academic booster clubs. His previous education plan did not sit well with one of the most culturally diverse and least wealthy states in America. Then, he tried to rebound from this with a tax reform plan that could not be passed through a Republican controlled legislature.
In retrospect he could have contacted each legislator to have their insights on such a revolutionary tax plan before he proposed it to get a better sense of what vision the legislators had for a transcending reform. Perhaps it might be good for him to get advice from Speaker Livingston on how to build stronger relations with legislators. He will have to have a working relationship with them in the future whether on the state or national level.
On another note, unemployment is inching up to its highest rate in the state in over a year. Obviously, businesses are gearing up for success in the midst of Obamacare and other potential business restrictions due to next year’s mid-term election. Again, Jindal’s constituents know he was part of a bipartisan reform commission to reform healthcare and has extensive experience in health and human services. So, they may take it as deceiving if a person as apt as Jindal is strongly refuting Obamacare and not offering an alternative.
Jindal should make anauspicious approach to Obamacare that the GOP cannot detest or detract from. For an instance, in the 70s and 90s, Senator Dole and President Nixon actually attempted to pass a healthcare plan that was more liberal than Obamacare. So, the GOP is eventually going to have to claim their unwanted prize. It would be politically beneficial if Jindal acknowledges Obamacare places a heavy burden on taxpayers, a good try from the president for healthcare reform, and realize Obama was attempting to be a copycat of those conservatives but just got it wrong.
Consequently, it’ll be refreshing to voters if Jindal conspicuously proposes an alternative plan that lessens the burden on taxpayers, reestablishes the framework that Obama used to make a bad cheat sheet from the blueprints of Dole and Nixon, and is more fiscally solvent based on the non-profit CBO. Furthermore, 2008 GOP nominee John McCain has said before yjsy Obamacare is a plan full of noble intentions.
2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney implemented a similar plan on the state level and former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Obamacare is 70 percent good (politico). Dr. Ben Carson supporting Obamacare and offering an alternative too. This definitely would not paralyze Jindal politically to embrace Obamacare but admit Obama’s political product for transformation has glitches. Besides this was originally the GOP’s brainchild and it would restore the opportunity to reap the political advantages of the program down the road.
Almost a million residents in Louisiana don’t have healthcare and over 40 million in America. Seeking a financially accountable and practical solution would increase these citizens’ quality of life. In a residual effect, it would make Jindal appear morally bountiful, fiscally responsible, and a constructive thinking politician.
Jindal should notice that the aforementioned people that support a similar healthcare plan were GOP nominees, GOP presidents, majority leaders, and world-renowned surgeons. He must not appear too politically motivated, socially disconnected, and intellectually dishonest. He does not need to give a Jon Huntsman Jr. type gesture to the president, but should provide troubleshooting for the inept political recipe of Obamacare.
