How much did Romney and his buddy Obama pay for this “study.”?
“But here’s what Perry doesn’t say: “virtually all of them” were government jobs, Newman wrote: “Net job gains in Texas have come entirely from government hiring, which accounts for 115,000 new jobs over the past three years. The private sector in Texas shed about 40,000 jobs during that time.
According to Newman, federal jobs in Texas jumped 7 percent compared to 4.3 percent nationwide. State bureaucracy increased 8.4 percent, while dipping 0.1 percent across the nation. And local government jobs shot up 6.1 percent, while diving 1.7 percent nationwide.”
And Perry is the Antidote to Obama???
Electing Perry is going to Fix WHAT???
As someone said at National Review today, it is no longer enough to trash Perry mercilessly. Now some conservatives have decided to trash Texas, which up until now was the shining beacon of conservative principles in action, showing the way forward to the nation.
Now we are just tearing it down, not because it is false, but simply because acknowledging it might give Perry some credibility, and we can’t have that.
But Sarah Palin pointed to Texas as the conservative light to a liberal world. It hurts us all to be so short-sighted.
