***You are comparing the job growth in Texas to a healthy, normal economy... which we are most patently *NOT* in at this time.
Why?***
You have a good point. But were talking about the *claims* being made by the Perry camp that he created jobs during this horrible economy.
In the end, that’s what he’s standing on to get elected. The reason people got so excited when he decided to run was that they believed that Perry could magically turn the economy around with the Texas model.
But a closer look shows that Texas hasn’t created more private sector jobs. If you want more illegal aliens working and more gov’t jobs popping up while the private sector gets more anemic, then Perry is your man.
Texas, under his leadership, has created 1/3 of all jobs in America over the last 3 years. That’s pretty impressive, no matter how you parse it. Specially if you consider the economic climate of the nation.
One state, out of 50, created them with good business policies. (Or in other words, the state got out of business’s way.)
Imagine what could be done with that kind of attitude in Washington.
