It should be entertaining from a fellow who is all hat and no cattle. Governor Perry says he believes that government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers, but he's fills the trough fullest, when it comes to corporate welfare for his favorite picks.
Gov. Perry bleats the loudest at Obama's antics, but the NY Times nailed it when they showed Texas spending 19 billion a year for subsidies, and the Tribune's article on the Texas Wind Boom shows that the governor really prefers big spending and big government. He's only conservative when it comes to the money in his own deep pockets.
Texas is as broke as anyone, yet we keep spending like we're in high cotton. Go figure!
