Texas voters okay almost all of our debt at the ballot box. Half of the debt is in loans and financing that pays for itself when people pay the interest as they repay their debts. The other half is bonds for roads. That’s how our system is set up to pay for infrastructure, since we don’t have an income tax.

Again:

“Texas has the second lowest debt per capita in America, as well as the third lowest interest payments on the debt of any state, despite it being a donor state, according to the Tax Foundation.

“Forbes gives Texas four stars for its debt situation, and ranks Texas fourth in the country for the best handling of debt.

“Texas also has the second lowest debt in the country, as a percentage of personal income, has reduced its non-self-supporting debt substantially over the past decade, and had its bond rating recently upgraded. “

RINO STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.

Don’t ask me to hold me nose.

His kind need to be flushed, not voted into high office.

He’s nothing but a slick, big hair used car salesman, and I am ashamed we voted him in.
