    No way.

    Here is an article saying we don't have enough people with associates degrees in Louisiana.

    We got a nice little nugget.

    "Universities have to fix their share of problems too.


    Only two public universities out of 13 in the state — LSU and Louisiana Tech University — graduate more than 50 percent of their students within six years. Such retention and graduation problems need to improve."

    The other part of the problem is that those educated people can't find jobs in La. We need to develop job opportunities for college grads to attract people. How many of our college grads leave La. for greener pastures?

    Didn't they just fix that, although if I remember correctly, we won't see an increase in revenue until 2012 or 2014 for some reason.

    From http://www.marylandrieu.com/news/articles?id=0207
    [QUOTEWhat was controversial in the 2006 law wasn’t opening up the acres to oil exploration: ... But the revenue-sharing provision channeled 37.5 percent of drilling royalties to the closest coastal states — and away from the federal Treasury.

    According to Congressional Budget Office projections at the time, drilling leases and royalties from the 8.3 million acres opened in the 2006 law would generate about $1 billion in federal receipts and $405 million in revenue for the four affected states over the following 10 years. Louisiana would receive almost half the state money based on a formula that allocated shares according to each state’s distance from production. Landrieu’s office estimates that Louisiana will get $40 billion over 50 years.

    And. I love the Saints, but subsidizing them is stupid as hell.
