Some supporters of the measure deemed it to not be good policy, but necessary, to achieve a balanced budget.  Critics blasted the credit, saying it is not a credit at all and question its validity.

University of Louisiana at Monroe Political Science Professor Joshua Stockley shares on what the credit represents and what passage could mean for future budget complications.
