Oh yeah. His state is creating 50% of the jobs in the US right now. He has a budget surplus and businesses are flocking to his state, fleeing from liberal tax, spend and regulatory nightmare states.
Some loser.
There is no surplus here, you are being fooled.
Casper
He has been the best governor in this nation after Mitch Daniels, he will be a wonderful President.He knows how to create jobs, unlike Obama
Is there any particular reason that he is waiting so long to jump in? Perhaps with the oil crash he no longer feels he has a strong Texas economy to run on even though it isn't all his fault?
Rainy Day Fund + Budget balanced = Surplus
Aaah these ignorants
Yes the ignorants. LOL
Cutting education and funding for elderly and poor healthcare, and making every new highway a tollway do tend to create a surplus, of sorts, but it does not equate to wise governance. Oh and for a little more reality, the State of Texas is run by the Lt Governor and the Governor is more of a figurehead, listen to Perry speak sometime the guy is an idiot.
Rick Perry would crush Obama in a landslide, because he has a great economic record."You want jobs, and fast ? Look at what I did in Texas "
Rick Perry is the greatest creator jobs the people of the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coachila, Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon have ever seen and Texas businesses can't seem to get enough of them through legal channels! Why hire Americans when you can get these guys or gals for a fraction of the price .
Perry is the epitome of cronyism and corruption, IMO. As someone else pointed out, in Texas, the governor is basically a figurehead. The real power comes in the Lt. Governor position. I've lived in Texas all of my life and was happy to see Perry step down.
As far as being a 3rd world state, there are plenty of well paying jobs here. And illegals are in every state, not just Texas.
Texas creates "jobs" because it's "first" in the race to the bottom. It is the best competitor with the Third World. Yay for Texas! It provides the least protection for its workers and allows them to be exploited the most.
I have no interest in America becoming a member of the Third Word; therefore, I have no intersest in a Perry presidency. Let him stay in Texas and keep promising to secede. If he doesn't make good on his promise soon, I suggest the Union should take a vote on whether or not such a backwards, Third World state should be allowed to stay united with such a great nation. The minimal protections it provides for its workers is shameful.
Maybe if we finished the d*mn fence...
