Bobby Jindal: ‘Balancing Our Government’s Books Is Not What Matters Most’

The Louisiana governor says Republicans shouldn’t worry about balanced budgets or being the party of austerity.

“Balancing our government’s books is not what matters most … (It’s) a nice goal, but that shouldn’t be our primary objective,” Jindal told a packed ballroom at the Renaissance Grand in downtown St. Louis for the Missouri Republican Party’s Lincoln Days.

“We must not become the party of austerity. We must become the party of (economic) growth,” Jindal said. “We have fallen into a trap of believing the world revolves around Washington.”
