The great thing about his so public outcry about not accepting Stimulus money for unemployment benefits is that it is now being reported that Texas is getting ready to barrow 1.5 Billion for the Federal Government for Unemployment benefits.

Does anybody really believe Perry anymore?

“It drives the talking heads crazy, but I’m proud of those level-headed Americans who are pushing back through the growing TEA Party movement.”

I wonder what those level-headed Americans think of Perry trotting out pro gun-control and general all around liberal Giuliani to campaign for the good Governor. Although it would be very entertaining if the GOV would bring Giuliani with him to one of the TEA party events.

"This continued application of proven, conservative fiscal principles and unapologetic embrace of individual liberty has created a magnetic pull on business owners and citizens looking for a fresh start."

Funny, there is no mention in here anywhere of Perry’s Margin Tax of 2006. The only reason the new Margin Tax is not called a Business Income Tax is because it is in actuality worse than a Business Income Tax. Does Perry talk about the Margin Tax at the TEA parties?

In 2003, our Legislature’s first order of business was tackling a $10 billion deficit. Fortunately, conservative leadership principles prevailed and we cut spending to right our listing ship of state. Six years later, Texas has a balanced budget with money set aside to cover contingencies

OK this one really confuses me. Total Debt Outstanding for the State of Texas is as follows:

’04 19.96 Billion
’05 21.38 Billion
’06 23.32 Billion
’07 26.37 Billion
’08 31.25 Billion

If we have a balanced budget and debt outstanding keeps going up (11.29 Billion in 5 years), where is the extra money going? Do state officials all have secret Swiss bank accounts? Or is the truth that we are spending more money than the Tax revenue that is coming on, and we are making up the difference by pushing the burden on our children and grandchildren? Oh and by the way, we are getting ready to borrow $1.5 Billion from the Federal Government.
