Sometimes bad optics just happen.
I hate to know my eyes are getting bad...

In most cases our gov’t is in autopilot in these matters. I would like to know if this was a request on the part of Perry or if this is an automatic feature in the TX gov’t.
Must be nice.
But everything is big in Texas—especially egos, avarice and cronyism.
LBJ land to a T.
The term ABC World News used was “double-dipping”.
Make the stupid man stop.
In Texas, it isn’t really like a pension, it is closer to a 401K. The money he is taking out, he has paid in over his career and is matched by the State up to a certain percent (not sure the exact percent).
Nothing really wrong with that. It is like you rolling your 401K over into an annuity when you hit retirement age but continue to work.
“I have signed into law H.R. 4331, a bill that substantially incorporates the social security changes which I urged in my address of September 24 to the nation—restoration of the minimum benefit for people receiving that benefit, and interfund borrowing to tide the system over while the new National Commission on Social Security Reform develops a bipartisan plan to achieve long-lasting solutions to social security’s financing problems.”

Beware: Mitt N Perry’s movement of the mouth...

This isn’t a pension like you would see in other States.
that’s probably the pension of a DMV worker in California and that is entry level. haha. union of course or maybe an entry level Homeland Security worker at the airport. thank the unions!
Oh man.
Next we’ll hear he put in 1,000 hours of overtime in his last year.
Many government types just do this stuff naturally, they feel very entitled to get the “max” they can from their government jobs.
So? has he started collecting? It’s due to him in any case.
The honor bestowed by Texas,toward its military veterans is not a topic to be sullied by cheap and infantile propaganda.
The sons and daughters of Texas,that have honorably served in the United States military,are given retirement points for their service to the nation.
I didn’t see Gov{Captain}Perry seek a student deferment as some of the other contenders have , and I don’t recall it ever being fashionable to assassinate someones character because they were a veteran , unless of course you are from the other side.
I have been a follower for many,many years of Free Republic and the often slack jaw, inappropriate and damn right insulting half truths and subjective innuendo are sometimes a bit too cannibalistic,unless of course,you are from the other side,and do indeed,”eat your own”.
The Soviets at one time spent twenty five percent of their defense budget on propaganda directed toward the citizens of this great nation and it has taken a toll on many....I aint buyin it,so go peddle your wares elsewhere.
God Bless the Great Republic of Texas, and God Bless our Veterans that have won their meager benefits. “Tighten Up”
By the way I am one of those Perry "haters" who has never voted for him and think he would be a RINO of the worst sort.
Hawhoo! I knew this would be a **** storm!
