Perry gladly used Obama stimilus to keep Texas Budget Balanced .

Texas, which crafts a budget every two years, was facing a $6.6 billion shortfall for its 2010-2011 fiscal years. It plugged nearly all of that deficit with $6.4 billion in Recovery Act money, allowing it to leave its $9.1 billion rainy day fund untouched.

Even as Perry requested the Recovery Act money, he railed against it. On the very same day he asked for the funds, he set up a petition titled “No Government Bailouts.”

Also , the amount of state debt has more than doubled since Perry became governor. Perry is another spend and borrow rino like George W. Bush

Who are you supporting, jackwagon?

All I see from your putrescent gob is anti-Perry blather of dubious veracity.

I don't see you actually supporting anybody. Who's your guy? 0bama? Hillary? Pelosi?

Come out of the closet.

Did you know Sarah Palin's Alaska receives $1.80 in federal money for every dollar it sends in and that has gone on for decades. Did you know Sarah Palin's Alaska is 3rd in receiving of Federal welfare?

Did you know Rick Perry's Texas receives $0.94 for every dollar it sends in and has to spend it's own money to protect the 1200 mile Texas/Mexico border (otherwise known as the U.S./Mexico border)?

Shout it from the roof tops!

Another bald-faced (and bold font) lie from Red South - but what else can we expect?

According to USGovernmentSpending.com, state debt in Texas in the year 2000 was $19.2 billion. At the end of 2010, it was $27.3 billion. Even if you don't account for inflation, that is only a 42% increase. If you account for inflation, it is a 16% increase, or 1.6% per year.
