Re: CHRISTIAN VOTERS GUIDE 2012
Bobby Jindal, along with other GOP governors, has refused Obama's stimulous money for expanding unemployment insurance.
This is a very bold move, and it requires a lot of strength and willpower to resist the endless whining that results.
For people like Henry Kight, 59, of Austin, Tex., the possibility that the money might be turned down is a deeply personal issue.
Mr. Kight, who worked for more than three decades as an engineering technician, discovered in September that because of complex state rules, he was not eligible for unemployment insurance after losing a job at a major electronics manufacturer he had landed at the beginning of the year.
Unable to draw jobless benefits, he and his wife have taken on thousands of dollars in credit-card debt to help make ends meet.
It is precisely these kind of regulations, involving such matters as the length of a person’s work history or reason for leaving a job, that the federal government is trying to get the states to change. Such a move could extend benefits to an estimated half-million more people...
"I don’t understand the whole thing," said Kelley Joyce, 43, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., about indications from Gov. Mark Sanford that he may reject some of the stimulus financing in that state. "Apparently because he has money and he doesn’t have to worry about everybody else who doesn’t have money."
"I don’t think he truly understands the plight of his citizens," Ms. Foss said. "He’s surrounded by people with good jobs, who make good salaries. He’s not surrounded by people like me."

That does sound like fun. And you just know that nobody would have batted an eye if some Negro "students" had made a statue of an equivalent figure from their side, like
