How about a natural and expected result of not having an anti-business government that has become far too common across the country?
I agree and it is not like Texas is doing as well as it should, they are doing well considering all the stupidity at the federal level. Once we are rid of Obama, I expect Texas to do much better.
As a Texas native who has resided in other states, what sets Texas apart is the Texas “state of mind.” Here people roll their sleeves up and get to work, in spite of disasters.
Yes, Texas is blessed with natural resources, as is the entire US. The difference is that Texans do not bog down our economy with intrusive regulations and taxes.
I do have reservations about Perry, principally that he often seems to be more about Perry than what is best for Texas.
