It's not an either-or thing. You can be for local decision-making and for a federal effort that cut across the usual bureaucratic lines.
accepted committee critical damage energy excited hand help impact industry invitation rebuild return roll share supply thrilled willing
I'm excited the committee will see first hand the impact on Louisiana's coast. We are willing to do our share to supply the nation's energy needs, but in return we need the nation's help to rebuild the damage to our coastline. I am thrilled the committee has accepted my invitation to see firsthand the critical roll that Louisiana's ports and industry play in supplying our nation's energy needs.
again businesses eager heard help open paperwork people small trying worried
We've heard from a lot of small businesses eager to open up again but worried about the paperwork and delays. If we smother people in paperwork, some of the businesses the SBA is trying to help may not be there.

Every day we don't get something like this in place, that's another day of lost opportunity. I don't think we can do this soon enough.

One of the things that made him so attractive to voters when he ran for mayor was ... he was an outsider.
gave negotiate repeal rid time
It is time for Republicans in D.C. to fight. Too often, they give up; they negotiate with themselves. They said they would get rid of the unconstitutional amnesty. They didn't do that. They said they would repeal Obamacare if we gave them the majority. They didn't do that, either.
cut ran takes whatever
We got a lot of politicians that will kiss babies, cut ribbons, do whatever it takes to be popular. That's not why I ran for office. I ran for office to make the generational changes in Louisiana.

Under President Obama and Secretary Clinton, they're working hard to change the American dream into the European nightmare. They do celebrate more dependence on the government.

Simply expanding Medicaid does not improve health care outcomes. In Louisiana, instead we're helping people getting better paying jobs so they can provide for their own health care.

Planned Parenthood had better hope that Hillary Clinton wins this election, because I guarantee under President Jindal, January 2017, the Department of Justice and the IRS and everybody else that we can send from the federal government will be going in to Planned Parenthood.
cart expand kick opportunity people private remove uninsured
If we were to expand Medicaid, for every uninsured person we would cover, we'd kick more than one person out of private insurance or remove their opportunity to get private insurance. We're going to have too many people in the cart rather than pulling the cart.

I would sign an executive order protecting religious liberty, our first amendment rights, so Christian business owners and individuals don't face discrimination for having a traditional view of marriage.
afford anybody create culture expanding expensive government mistake programs stop
I don't think anybody should be expanding Medicaid. I think it's a mistake to create new and more expensive entitlement programs when we can't afford the ones we've got today. We've got to stop this culture of government dependence.
