This is someone’s unsourced opinion vanity. It should be pulled as it’s not news!
You are quoting INCORRECT numbers, claiming $31 B deficit for Texas, when the truth is the deficit is only $4.3 B, and Texas has a “rainy day fund”, of which Perry used $3.2B, leaving a small deficit, the balance covered by spending cuts.
Perry is untouchable on his record, so you have to MAKE UP LIES about him. (you as in you plural, all the Perry-bashers)
Perhaps if Texas got back as much for each dollar sent to the feds as Alaska does, there could be a check to every resident. In fact, Texas is a donor state and Alaska gets back almost $2 for every dollar they pay, that certainly helps support Alaska and their fund.
Not when you put it like that, but if stated honestly, and when you see what she accomplished, you’re damn straight she’s presidential material. FAR more than any of the pretenders.
You’re right, Brices Crossroads, except you’re quite wrong.
Rick Perry never refused the stimulus money, he refused the strings attached to it. He SUED, and he WON. And then he used the feds money to pay off the feds debt of unfunded mandates in Texas that had quadrupled in the last five years since the commiecrats took Congress in 2007 and expanded everyone of their commiecrat programs.
Texas didn’t need the fake shovel-ready jobs attached to that money. He needed the feds own debt paid off.
And he paid it off! It was a BRILLIANT move on his part. NOW, our budget is balanced, we’re not going to incur the debt from the feds unfunded mandates anymore, as we cut the feds programs back to bare bones.
What you need to do, Brices Crossroads is take your own advice. If you don’t have the FACTS, you don’t have an argument!
Clairity, rick perry is going to implode He is lord of the manor in Texas, and Texas knows him and can handle him. They are used to him. He isn’t going to be able to be lord of the manor across the entire US. He is abrasive, quick tempered, has contempt for women, panders to every group imaginable, believes he is infallible and nothing is his fault, is thinskinned when challenged, does business with questionable people, and he ain’t gonna make it.
This isn’t a “Palin thread” — I stay away from those. This is a Perry bashing thread — half the article bashed Perry, using FALSE numbers.
How many people are Ricky's Dears Murdering in Texas VS Alaska??
This helps nothing. As someone who has relatives living in AK, I have heard first hand that there is a large indigenous population that sits and lives off the funds that are taken from the oil companies to survive. I don’t see a problem with that since it is a states issue, but I don’t see it as ideal.
I don’t give a rip who you support but for crap sakes stop repeating the meme that she quit because she couldn’t take the heat. It’s been explained over and over again. And as to her not wanting to be attacked...who the heck has been taking the media flak while standing up for conservatives the past few years? Who campaigned tirelessly for Tea Party candidates in 2010? Who even campaigned for Perry because he was the lesser of 3 evils? When you keep repeating something that’s been explained over and over and over again (and when her own actions prove she hasn’t run from anything) it makes you sound ignorant. I can understand principled people are going to disagree on who to support in the primaries (and that’s a good thing) but for the sake of intelligent debate please find real things to criticize her about.

How many are Supposed to be there or Legally in America
If you read the article carefully, you’ll see that much of the fed money is spent on fed jurisdictions like military bases and BLM land, ANWR, and the like.
Could you throw in a few facts and figures so that dull people like myself can follow along? I was not aware that Perry was murdering anyone. If that was the case, I would think that far less people would move there.
This is not an article and is only a vanity using made-up junk to compare apples to oranges.
Not only are your FACTS WRONG....ALASKA DOESN’T HAVE A GOVERNOR AS A CANDIDATE IN THE 2012 RACE!
Even when deducting the illegals it’s still like well over 20,000,000 people. I’m not saying there are that many illegals but realisticly there are millions more citizens in Texas than Alaska.
You have it azz backwards these are Royalties from the Oil,Texas could do the same but with the mismanagement there the check would be for less than a penny!
Alaska only has 700K people, how much do they need to give everybody a check? BTW, Texas also has a whole bunch of military bases, probably more than Alaska. I would guess that a lot of the fed money Texas does get back goes there.
BINGO!
For one thing Alaska seems more Way more efficient and two your numbers are off!
