Rick Perry:
FIRST: "Don't spend all the money!"
SECOND: "Have a fair and predictable tax and regulatory policy!"
THIRD: "Have a legal system that doesn't allow for over suing and make loser pay!"
I don’t have real strong feelings on this either way, but the pay scale for jobs that exist in any given location are a function of the nature of industry, local labor supply, availability of alternative jobs, and many more factors. All the Governor can do - or help to do - is to create a tax and regulatory structure that encourages businesses to locate there and hire people.
Blaming the Governor for the pay level simply shows the stupidity of the blamer.
This is hysterical. Perry’s camp should be reminding us of all the crowing the libdems did when Mickey-d’s added some 60,000 jobs a couple of months ago.
liberals have taken the position of begrudgingly admitting that Perry had indeed created all the jobs Perry claims to have created in his tenure as Governor of Texas.

Texas has done GREAT on jobs, compared to the USA.
and sure you can give Perry some credit.
but how about TEXANS ? and Texas LAWMAKERS ?
i submit, that ANY true conservative, like DeMint or Paul Ryan, could have done BETTER for Texas than Perry.
look at your OWN quotes from Perry:
“
Rick Perry:
FIRST: “Don’t spend all the money!”
SECOND: “Have a fair and predictable tax and regulatory policy!”
“
to TRULY make the economy roar, and crate new businesses and jobs, a true conservative, would say instead:
FIRST: CUT spending, and let people keep more of their OWN money!
SECOND: REDUCE taxes, and REDUCED crippling stupid regulations on businesses.
=
and people in Texas ILLEGALLY, costs TEXAS TAXPAYERS 17 billion a year! Yet Perry supports amnesty?
Supports the DREAM Act? And says even the inadequate AZ law, “wouldn’t be right for Texas” ?
A TRUE small government conservative, who would REDUCE Taxes and spending, and fight illegal immigration,
would have done much BETTER for Texas.
And Perry supporters know it. And true convervatives like Mark Levin and Michelle Malkin know it.
The ONLY thing that will save our U.S. economy now, is someone with the courage to DO something about ILLEGAL immigratin, and DO something about reducing taxes and
REDUCING GOVERNMENT SPENDING !
The new diatribe is that the jobs were minimum wage jobs.
My answer to that is..OK then dont take them.
Its supply and demand. If there is a shortage of labor, the wages will go up since the employers will compete for labor to do the work the employers need done. If there are more workers than Jobs, then the wages will be low since the employers will have more workers for fewer jobs driving the wages down.
The answer is easy. Get the government the hell out of the way to allow employer growth and create a labor job market.
This aint rocket science. But remember this..
There is not correlation between intelligence and common sense. Wisdom comes from common sense and experience.
“Ugly Treatment of Perry’s Jobs Record”
And it’s going to get uglier.
They will call him a thick-headed, knuckle-dragging,
Christian moron and probably engage in even more vile language than that.
The left knows no bounds or propriety. They only know about furthering the revolution by whatever means necessary.
(One can trust Progressive scu*bags to be Progressive scu*bags, always.)
IMHO
The mind of a liberal is truly a bizzarre instrument. They can call for more Obama-style government stimulus when that clearly has failed and belittle Texas’s job growth when that state’s policies clearly have succeeded. And the only way they can do that is to ignore clear facts. That is the hallmark of a liberal - re-write the truth so that it fits his preconceptions.
everyone should use the article in this thread to beat every obamazombie over the head who want to debated Perry’s jobs record:

Budget Battle Transforms Texas Democratic Congressman Lloyd Doggett into Governor Rick Perry's bitch...
(2 L's, 2 G's, 2 T's, no balls)
The battle of Washington, D.C., versus Texas continues — and this time it's D.C.’s turn to be fed up. On the letters page of Wednesday's New York Times, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, slams Gov. Rick Perry for failing to take $830 million in federal money that Perry and other Republicans complained had strings attached but that Doggett says would have prevented “anti-education ‘smoke and mirrors’ budgeting” by the state.
In the latest round of the political feud over $830 million in federal funding, House Republicans, led by U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Lewisville, passed a bill Saturday that attempts to block the enforcement of the Texas-specific Education Jobs amendment.
The latest chapter in the feud between Gov. Rick Perry and Representative Lloyd Doggett over $830 million in federal money for education unfolded Tuesday, when, in his State of the State address, the governor called out a “certain Texas congressman” for singling out Texas “for punishment in pursuit of his own agenda.”
The dispute between Mr. Perry and Mr. Doggett, Democrat of Austin, began in August, when Congress passed legislation to give $10 billion in aid to allow states to hire and retain teachers. Tacked onto the law was a measure proposed by Mr. Doggett and supported by other Democrats — applicable only to Texas — that requires the governor to offer his assurance that the money will be used to “supplement and not supplant” state education financing through 2013.
Six months later, Texas is one of only two states that has not received money from the fund. Attorney General Greg Abbott filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Education to claim the money — without complying with the Doggett provision — and the state’s Congressional delegation has split along party lines.

Texas will soon be receiving the $830 million in funds for public education that have been tied up in political wrangling.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan made the announcement Friday. Gov. Rick Perry said he welcomed the department's decision to approve the state's application for the funding.
The federal budget deal negotiated to avoid a government shutdown this month removed the strings U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat from Austin, had attached to the funds.
The bill removed a requirement that Perry, a Republican, use the funds to supplement existing school spending rather than just replace state funds in order to balance the budget.

During his 2010 re-election campaign, Gov. Rick Perry vowed to secure $830 million in federal education aid for Texas schools that had been held up in Washington.
The stalled money became the subject of a political fight between Perry and Democratic U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Austin after Doggett inserted into the law special conditions that Texas must meet to get its share of $10 billion in education funding disbursed to states.
...
In a press release of his own... Perry said: “Today is a victory for Texas schools that have been waiting for these well-deserved federal funds for far too long. Thanks to our persistent efforts, including those of U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Sen. John Cornyn and other dedicated members of the Texas congressional delegation, along with House Speaker John Boehner, this funding will soon be flowing to the school teachers and schoolchildren of Texas.”
With the state's application approved, we're moving the meter to Promise Kept.
