Bobby Jindal: Greece Is a ‘Warning Sign of Where We Could Be Headed’ Under Obama

“You want to see our future, look at Greece,” said Jindal, who is running to be the Republican nominee for president in 2016. “Taxes are too high, government spending is too high, pensions are underfunded, regulations are stifling the economy and private sector growth is too slow.
