Federal Budget grew 5-8% during same time.
So are you now saying that it’s NOT ok for the federal gov, but when Rick Perry does it in Texas, it’s “good”?
First, if that growth would have occurred without insane taxes and no deficit, as it has in Texas, yes, that would be fine.
Second, the fedgov monster started out too big.
Third, your figures are not accurate wrt fedgov growth under Obama.
Fourh, the growth most conservatives care about isn’t just the number of employees, it also the growth of fedgov power. Again, Texas hasn’t had that type of growth.
Not a huge Perry fan, but could vote for him. Hit pieces such as this article and your comment atually make that much more likely...
