Ron Paul's district is packed full with the largest chemical companies in the world. DOW, BASF etc..They have huge government monitoring facilities, regulation facilities, and the corps of engineers with lots of government employees (And NASA is NOT in his district). There are also government projects that deal with the inter coastal waterways. These are big projects that require big bucks. Bridges, bulkheading of shore, channeling, jeddies, harbors etc. The inter coastal waterway provides a safe channel for ships to pass without having to be in the open seas. It basically runs the length of the gulf coast. And it benefits the entire US.

The shrimp industry is very big there to. People come from all along the gulf coast and make port in Freeport/Galveston for the shrimp season. Also His district is home of one of the largest oil reserves in the US.. BryAn Mound

Description: Part of the nation's emergency oil stockpile, the Bryan Mound Strategic Petroleum Reserve Storage Site has a total storage capacity of 226 million barrels of oil. The system is composed of more than 20 10-million gallon chambers, (four of which already existed, the rest which were artificially excavated), in a salt dome, a geologic formation composed of solid salt. The top of the dome is 1,200 feet below ground level and reaches a depth of 50,000 feet. The Bryan Mound site is close to port and terminal facilities at Freeport, TX, and at the Phillips tank farm three miles to the east. Two principal crude oil pipelines extend from Bryan Mound - a 4-mile, 30-inch-diameter line to the Phillips terminal and docks, and a 46-inch line to the ARCO Pipeline Company terminal in Texas City, TX.
Location: 40 miles S of Houston
Address: TX
Contact Info: Public Affairs: (202) 586-6503
Visitor Info: NE of the Intracoastal Waterway near the mouth of the Brazos River.

I don't have details for you but that should give you an idea what his district is made up of.

--- Just so you will know, that area has been like that since the 40's when Dow moved in. Its not like Ron Paul got all these subsidies to entice the chemical/oil industry to move there. They were there long before Ron Paul. Its a wonder that Dr. Paul keeps getting elected while trying to git rid of the big government that surrounds him. I guess most folks are not government employees.

yea, great place it has become this last hundred years or so. an excellent example would have to be this one (http://www.epa.gov/superfund/sites/npl/nar1400.htm). It's just a few bays down from RP's hometown.

we've got a lot of agri-welfare kings and queens like to prance around high class in their doolies, boots and buckles
sucking off the nation's teat. use government coercion to keep other people off the land, to hoard and destroy.

monoculture. miles and miles of monoculture, anything you think you might want to subsidies. we'll plant it, we'll throw some
water on it, then we'll let it cook out in sun, forget to harvest it... then we'll get the check. buhhhh...
