Governor Rick Perry's state is prospering because of high oil prices and population growth, much of this growth from Mexican immigrants and retirees.

Okay. Let's run with this.

Texas is experiencing an economic boom because of high oil prices while President Urkel's moratorium on drilling in The Gulf Of Mexico is in effect.

So, Paul Krugperson, President Clouseau is actually RETARDING even GREATER economic growth in Texas.

What a newshole.

And Perry's fighting the EPA's smothering of TX economy too.

Aug 5, 2011: Finding middle ground on EPA-Texas electric squabble [EPA doesn’t do “middle” ground] “Texas' grudge match with the Environmental Protection Agency is getting nastier and riskier, with the fallout threatening to reach the state's power grid. Want another reason to worry about the lights staying on? Or how about another hit to the economy? You've heard lots of political posturing about Texas' way of life being threatened by an overreaching federal government. This time, Gov. Rick Perry has a point. …………..

Don't be surprised if the attorney general jumps in after Perry slammed the rule for threatening Texas jobs and families and putting reliable, affordable electricity at risk. Late last week, 31 members of Congress from Texas, including eight Democrats, signed a letter to the White House asking for relief. The utility commission also filed objections with the EPA.

Texas officials and the EPA have been clashing over air pollution and environmental issues for the past decade. The conflict has deepened under the Obama administration as the EPA turned more aggressive and Perry sharpened his attacks on Washington.”………

Actually, Texas isn’t as bad off as some other states because tech and other companies see that we have lower land prices and lower wages. They are moving branches out of more costly places such as NY and CA. It’s good for their bottom line. Sadly, we’re being inundated with wacky liberals from NY and CA who want to change us into what they came from. We’re also being inundated with illegals. Sure, we’ve always had them but the past 5 years or so there’s been a huge swell of them under Perry’s watch.
