[StBernard] We're Hiring

[Westley Annis]

As President Obama celebrates his 50th birthday this week, it is a time to
reflect.  

Reflecting on the last few years, we remember when the President took over
our health care system against the clear wishes of the American people.made
us more dependent on foreign oil . passed a stimulus bill that was
enormously expensive and didn't create jobs . grew the national debt from
nine Trillion to 14 Trillion and counting . and brought the greatest country
in the history of the world to the point of flirting with bankruptcy. 

You couldn't make this up.

Thankfully, in Louisiana we have taken a different approach than President
Obama. Instead of the strategy of "Borrow, Spend and Repeat," we made
government spend less money when government had less money to spend.
Radical, huh? 

We are seeing real results. In just the past few days we've announced an $8
million investment in Denham Springs by CAP Technologies that will create
100 new jobs, a $16.8 million investment in Shreveport by Ronpak that will
create 700 new jobs, and a $19 million investment in Lafayette by the
Schumacher Group that will produce 1,400 new jobs.

President Obama could sure learn a lesson from Louisiana.  We balance our
budget.  We make tough choices.  We focus on jobs. 

Today, we celebrate the fact that because of our economic growth we can
proudly say to the country that, in Louisiana, WE'RE HIRING.
