I have to agree.

As soon as they "crunched" the numbers on how much it would cost to operate in each state, we were out of the running.

So I heard this morning, via Moon Griffon, that Bimbo Blanco spent between 1.7 and 2 BILLION dollars trying to attract this steel mill that most of us knew would NEVER locate in Louisiana......while a SugarMill in St. James Parish is shutting down and about 150 full time and seasonal help employees are now jobless AND on unemployment. How many are going to be on welfare in 6 months costing our state and the taxpayers even MORE money? What fraction of the nearly 2 BILLION dollars that stupid ***** wasted would have saved those currently existing jobs?

But hey, I hear the newly remodeled Governors Mansion looks splendid....

How much longer will our state have to suffer under these stupid ****ing Democrats?

You are either misinformed or misunderstood. We certainly didn't spend $2B to attract them, that was the total amount (over however many years, 20? 30?) that the state was expected to give them in tax breaks and other considerations IF THEY LOCATED HERE. Blanco and the legislature actually spent a few million on the project.

Yeah, but the more likely scenario is that you are just running your dumbass mouth again, not to mention you failed to utilize this little thing called a reference. It's purpose is to support your story....but since it's pure bull****...no source.

Welcome to my ignore list, ****face. I work with criminals all day long, I'm not about to spend my evening socializing with them too.

Does anyone remember when Shreveport spent $1M to court Boeing when they were thinking of building a plant here. If I recall, Boeing ended up not building the plant at all...

Well, I'd have to say that a million dollars, even though it's quite steep for 1 city is still within reason to try to attract a company like Boeing.....wasting nearly 2 billion on a failed venture, even if a fraction of that is economic incentives is still going WAAAAAAAAAAAY to far.

I suspect Shreve would have seen a profit within 2 years on a 1 mill investment. How long before over 2 BILLION dollars worth of Louisiana Steel get's sold?!?!?!

When you posted that earlier the website was down. Now that it's up I don't see any links on it that reference the topic. Granted, i didn't look very hard.

My source is the dozens of news stories about the plant over the last year plus the common sense to know that our governor did not spend two billion dollars to try and attract a business to Louisiana when our total state budget (discounting federal disaster aid) is around $18 billion.

>Welcome to my ignore list, ****face.

What did you tell me the other day, ignorance is bliss?

Does **** stand for s**t or f**k ?

Where exactly did you get that he's a criminal? You failed to utilize this little thing called a reference. It's purpose is to support your story.

Or are you just spouting wild claims with no factual basis whatsoever? That's what you ignored someone else for allegedly doing. Better put BrainSmashR on your ignore list too, he seems to be fabricating stuff.

It's called a confession and I didn't reference it because everyone here with the exception of one dumbass, that being you, has read it already.

Try educating yourself before showing us all how utterly stupid one dope head can be.
