[CaseyJones]

Debbie blabbermouth Schultz and David Axelrod were on the Weekend shows saying that whatever jobs ended up in Texas, are all thanks to Obama and the money he sent to Texas.

Looks like they're gonna need another truckload soon.

yeah but the thing is if you showed them this debt clock. They will say "oh Obama had nothing to do with it". But if you say Texas produced 30 % of the new jobs, they will Say "oh Thats all because of Obama". They want all the reward without any of the blame.

the debt is going DOWN though if you watch it.

[WilliamShrugged]

I noticed that as well. Most States i looked at had their debt decreasing. How so?

WTF? How does that work? Did Perry rig it just for the election?

How weird.

[AZKing]

1 in 7 Texans is on food stamps.

Rick Perry is the food stamp Governor.

My best guess is accounting tricks. Delaying this and that to next year/budget.

I read an article stating that percentage wise, Perry increased the debt in his state more than Obama nation-wide

[Fox McCloud]

It's still nothing compared to Massachusetts' debt clock >>

[dejavu22]

what we need is a debt per citizen for each state increase over the last 10 years comparing all 50 states... ill compile the data if someone can point me in the right direction to find it. My assumption is that it will show over the last 10 years Texas has taken the put it on the credit card approach and that could be devastating to Perry if it can be quantified and spread.

Found http://www.usgovernmentspending.com

No you shouldn't as I see it the numbers are going down and are having less debt with each tick. Read the tickers..

No they do have a lot more people working and increasing revenues is my guess?

1 in 7 Texans is on food stamps.

Rick Perry is the food stamp Governor.

population / food stamp recipients = 6.387598767476521 to be more accurate its closer to 1 in 6

[dejavu22]

I'd also like to point out that the highest recipient of food stamps, in the US, is Mississippi--which is 1 in every 5.

DC is actually slightly higher than this--which is...well, atrocious.

edit: corrected derpy mistake.

[fatjohn]

[Bordillo]

Then why on earth is Perry considered tea party? I think that this is the best way to approach a Perry candidacy because right now he is pulling favor from many in the tea party because his record in no way aligns him as a tea party candidate... he is just another big govt social neoconservative.

I'd also like to point out that the highest recipient of food stamps, in the US, is Tennessee--which is 1 in every 5.

DC is actually slightly higher than this--which is...well, atrocious.

hey, now. i just calculated NM food stamp recipients and it's 1 in every 4.8.

[PastaRocket848]

yeah it's going down and revenue is going up. not exactly a skeleton in the closet.

How many $12/hr and under jobs in Texas? That wage of $12 and below is considered poverty level.

A nice statistic which can exploit Preacher Perry
