And he work to wipe out ObamaCare.
Not to forget too, Perry has been pushing back against (and on the receiving end of attacks and more are on the way) the EPA, trial lawyers and Big Education. So once in the White House, he'll make good use of the bully pulpit, the veto pen and he will fill cabinet positions with people who hold his views.
His big platform points - Don't spend all the money. Have a fair and predictable tax and regulatory policy. And don't allow over suing.
Or another way he puts it, go after over regulation, over litigation and over taxation.
Why would he do that?
His business-mogul backers would love to dump their employee healthcare plans -- so would the entire Fortune 500. Howell Raines told us that before the 2008 election, that those guys had done a backroom deal with the Dims to break American healthcare so they won't have to pay for it anymore.
Business-news stories have been full of rumbles about polls of employers lining up to dump their plans.
Obamacare works just fine for them. It does the ONE THING they want. It makes private employer-paid healthcare plans go away.
So why would Rick Perry work to undercut this plan to dump people off their insurance plans? It's what Bidness wants! It's what his 200 big-bucks political contributors want! And you are going to get over that?
