"I'm not here complaining," Landrieu said in a floor speech. "My state is doing beautifully. Our unemployment in south Louisiana is 3 percent. So we are blessed because we are an energy state, we are proud of it, and we are creating jobs hand over fist. But there are places like Detroit, there are places in Ohio, there are places in Pennsylvania and New York and in New Mexico and in other places where people are unemployed, begging for work, willing to work. And three leaders came to the floor and said it's time to break gridlock. Well, here's a project that can do it."NOLA
