I looked into this while back when I saw claims like the Bachmann PAC's on FR.

I found essentially the same as Perry's response now claims on the budget #'s: population growth and inflation make the spending look out of control creating a false impression.

At the Texas Debt Clock, the numbers are going in the right directions: GDP up, Revenues up, Spending down, debt down, debt-to-gdp down.

I don't think much of Bachmann's camp for stooping to such obvious distortions. There's plenty she can hit Perry on without resorting this. It's the kind of disingenuousness we get out of liberals and the kind of misinformation that she has tried to position herself as being above.

The easily harpooned factual distortions are bad enough on their own. What's worse is exploiting the bad pic of Perry in the cliche stereotype cowboy hat while the d00d with the fake Texas accent narrates those distortions.

The pseudo-bubba is telling us that Perry is a fiscally irresponsible, big spending, dumb cowboy - gosh it must be true. We're all st00pit after all.

One would expect more from a serious contender and her "super PAC" than that pile of patronizing BS.
