In fact, his reason for not accepting the unemployment insurance extension funds in the stimulus bill is completely baseless and purely political.
Which is why when Jindal was in Congress in 2005, he co-sponsored a bill with a provision to extend federal unemployment benefits to workers who lost jobs due to Katrina for up to one year.
Now that he wants to be a potential presidential candidate for 2012..its time to play to the base and oppose a provision in the stimulus bill that would extend unemployment benefits for up to 20 weeks.
Can you say hypocrite?
