“And it turns out that the opposite is true. Since the recession started hourly wages in Texas have increased at a 6th fastest pace in the nation.”
Perry opposition posters consistently put out lies and half-truths.
Gov. Perry is the one who worries those who don’t want lawsuit abuse reform, Big Education reform, regulation reform, tax cuts, the demise of ObamaCare, insurance reform, border security, etc, etc espoused from the bully pulpit of the presidency.
