While speaking at the National Conference of State Legislators in San Antonio, Gov. Rick Perry touted Texas job growth and blasted runaway government spending — themes he's sure to stress in his expected presidential campaign.

did he talk about how the only jobs that have been created are min wage no benefits and because of his budget cuts lots of good jobs IE teaching jobs, nurses, police and firefighters have been lost?

Erica - of course not. He just says what he thinks people want to hear - doesn't have to be true!

Is that why we have one of the largest state deficits?

Let us never forget that Texas enjoys substantial investment by our brothers from across the border, fueled by nose candy use in this great land of ours, and largely untraceable because it shows up as cash in Federal Reserve operations. We have had loose monetary policy in Texas for years, abundant support for real estate values, and a value-added weapons trade as well. Yes, Rick. Texas is open for business. Now, how about we talk about what is REALLY going on here?

Perry is a lying hypocrite. When its convenient for him he will ask for Federal Assistance. Like with the recent fires, cuts were made by Perry & then he blames President Obama. He also took stimulus money to balance the budget. Idiot!!!

Perry's record speaks for itself! You can run for the White House Rick; but your record will hang around your neck like the rotting, fetid, carcass that it is!

What about the videos of an American family in Nacogdoches that had all their personal property stolen by former PRESIDENT of the Sheriff's Association of Texas/Nacogdoches County sheriff Thomas Kerss?
Why has the Texas governor not had an investigation into the Texas law enforcement officer committing crimes under color of law?

Maybe this weak politician that wants to be the President of the United States cannot control or have an investigation started when a corrupt Texas sheriff breaks Federal laws.
