I think you are reading the post incorrectly. Perry inherited those advantages and therefore he can bragg Texas has better jobs numbers. But I still give him credit for not screwing up the advantage.
Perry didn't inherit anything but his legacy. He's in the running for the longest serving governor of Texas, not that we give them much power down here.
And bragg is a federal fort. Brag is a verb.
Newbie punks are reaching.
