You do realize, don't you, that roughly 90% of the spending was self-supporting? That is went for things like student loans (over $6 billion, which are being repaid because we have JOBS), water districts (recouped through water bills), parks (recouped through user fees), and $3 Billion for a new cancer treatment center (paid for, again, by users)?

So only 10% will not ultimately be paid for by the folks using it. That's a growth of 1% per year, approximately; meanwhile, our FedGov grows at a rate of 5% to 8% per year.

Do a little more research as to where the money is actually being spent before posting lib talking points.

argue with the debt clock. 40 Billion this year in the red. That’s unsustainable.

THere are no talking points.

There is a link to s web site showing FACTS.

People who don’t care about the facts are why this country will go bankrupt.

Just keep electing “our guy” and cover up the real issues. The other side is doing the same thing.

Join the TEA Party (Taxed Enough Already). Throw out the big spenders of BOTH PARTIES.

NOMINATE a REAL CONSERVATIVE...

Stop being a part of the political “machine” and do your job as the founding fathers encouraged us to.

Fed if 5-8% growth a year.

Texas spending grew 100% in 9 years. On my calculator that’s in excess of 8%.

WHy don’t you do your research? You have this unsubstantiated opinion that the federal growth is > texas spending growth over the last 10 years.

Can you prove your case?

2001 Tx Budget = 49 Billion
2010 Tx Budget = 91 Billion

9 years 85.7% increase
