Has the size of the government in Texas grown or shrunk under Perry?
Texas has grown hugely in ten years. Everybody...well, not quite...is flocking here, and no, they aren’t all illegal, they are coming from all over the nation.
I don’t have figures to compare apples to apples, that is, when TX was smaller, or we didn’t have so many unfunded mandates as we do now, etc., how does the relative size of government stack up.
I don’t pretend to have those. But common sense would tell me to look at that in my assessment of the current size of TX government.
That being said, I don’t fall for a contrived notion that nobody is a conservative, no matter their positions and actions on a whole range of issues, unless their state government shrinks in 10 years.
Was CA’s government smaller after 8 yrs of Reagan?
