Reporting from Washington— Texas Gov. Rick Perry, faulting much of what the federal government did in the 20th century, has called Social Security a "failure" and "an illegal Ponzi scheme" and also cast doubt on the constitutionality of federal laws on food safety, minimum wages, bans on child labor, environmental protection and Medicare.

Got a deal for you. You pay for my retirement and then you get 2 more people in on this and they pay for your retirement and then they get 2 more people to pay for their retirement.
This article gets most of its info from Perry’s book. Aside from emphasis on the scare tactic of Perry’s view of SS as Ponzi scheme, it is not a bad read. I find it pretty fair.
I agree.. SS it a Ponzi scheme.
Ponzi schemes, like other Liberal solutions, only fail when you run out of other people’s money.
Prove it by releasing the Obama banquet tape.
Perry is excellent at talking the talk, but his determined and aggressive promotion of the TTC (Trans Texas Corridor) belies his professed respect for the concept of constitutional limits on government.
He pushed it hard despite the fact that it would have entailed massive abuse of the eminent domain doctrine as was made possible under the shameful Kelo vs New London SCOTUS ruling which eviscerated the private property rights of the American people.
Perry is just an establishment Pied Piper playin’ and dancin’ a seductive Texas two-step.
It is rather ironic that the liberals source of $ comes from the very entities they are trying to ‘destroy’. Once they succeed at the destruction, what are their plans for their own future.
How will they be able to sit back in their pseudo-intellectual pose, sipping vintage wine as they pontificate on the poor and starving...which of course will be sitting next to them as they wait for the food allotment and housing allowance which will have ceased coming down the pike, the golden goose having died.
The media didn’t bat an eye when candidate Obama complained that the Constitution was nothing but a bill of governmental prohibitions.
As a Texan, the TTC made my blood boil. I don’t think Perry realized what he was doing, he thought it would be good for Texas. And, unlike the obamacare nationwide disapproval, where Washington turned a deaf ear, Perry listened and the TTC was history.
I don’t believe he is establishment as the Rove Bush coterie is working too hard to shoot Perry down. I think Perry will listen far better than the ‘establishment’ RINOs did.
“Rick Perry’s views on the Constitution get closer scrutiny”
And yet Obama’s views, like that the Constitution is a flawed, racist document, did not by the LA Times.
I wonder WHY???
bump.
Read this column from townhall.com...he explains these liberal enigmas (to the best that they can be explained).
There is no way to reach the liberal mind with any logic, reason or facts.
