[...it was an investment that gave positive returns to the people and state of Texas.]
Righhht. Lets just forget about the multi-trillion dollar Liar Loan a$$paper sandwich your Texican RINO good ole boys and their God-father Ambassadors left floating in the global economic pond.
Well just forget about that little energy shortage the smartest guys in the room at Enron cooked up for Californistan back in 2001 too...

...before it FAILed and a few of their systems folks headed off to Empower(tm) Ameriquest and giggle gawsh, I sure hope THAT doesnt happen again HERE.
After all everybody cheats and as long as its good for Texas, and YOU got an "Enterprise" teat in your mouth, screw everybody else. Right Tex? Yee hah.
[Countrywide resulted in almost 4000 jobs]
Uhuh. How many of them were robo-signers?
Little facts like those seem to be missing from your Texican past-O-matic. Maybe you should call the help-desk and get a memory upgrade... assuming there's somebody actually WORKING in your department between 8 and 5.
I'm sure glad I don't have kids in the school district, err "Enterprise", you collect a paycheck from.
What does the fact than Countrywide and Enron turned out to be crooks have to do with Perry or Texas? Are you now making the charge that somehow all Texans are crooks? We were discussing the specific loan that Texas made to Countrywide. My point is that Texas got what it contracted for - almost 4000 new jobs for Texans. It also recovered 42% of the original loan when the number of jobs created fell short of the number promised.
