he has created more jobs in texas than any other state combined!!!!! economic educational pedigree does not outweigh results.
What has Al Gore's campaign chairman done to deserve that love? Nothing. But in our so-called democracy, reality is manufactured for us by the bought media, deep-pocketed special interests, and the two-party duopoly. Will of the people? Will of some people, maybe.
Two things. A) Most were either minimum wage jobs or government jobs. And B) I thought the government can't create jobs. Why is Perry taking credit?
Perry created an environment that was business friendly. lower tax rates, no income tax. he has worked hard to get businesses to come to TX and open new factories. More businesses, more income to the state. the cost of living in TX is alot cheaper than it is in other states, so making minimum wage is not as bad as if you were living in NY for instance. and paying no income tax to the state helps you keep even more money. The companies created the jobs, but did so because of factors that make TX a company friendly state. Now are you going to sit there and say that he did nothing to help create these jobs? no because you can't. you have been owned, now go to bed.
Cons, you really don't know what you're talking about... Perry didn't create that environment. Tax rates had stayed virtually the same and Texas hasn't had a state income tax for a long time prior to Perry being Governor. He hasn't worked at all for that. Just a case of companies moving to Texas to take advantage of their tax leniency, which as I said, was put in place long before Perry was voted in. Part of minimum wage is calculated by the standard of living. Minimum wage is minimum wage any way you look at it -- legally, the lowest pay given. And it's not good that Texas has a low standard of living compared to other states. Cons, it's funny you bring this up, because it is *YOU* who was just owned. Perry has done nothing except keep Texas status quo. By the way, you can thank me later for helping you understand minimum wage and standard of living.
Everyone but Perry is going to fold up before the New Hampshire primary if these poll numbers stay the same.
They probably won't once people find about about the Gardasil-pushing Al Gore fan's record. The real story here is how the Big Media tries to manufacture reality and how the voters buy into it like zombies. We'd be so much better off if we ignored that media and voted for who we liked, not whom we think was gonna win like there was a prize at the end for it.
It's difficult for me to define the limits of administration scumbaggery you'll shill for. There seems to be no upper bound. Like a filthy Florida swamp salesman in the 30s, you can't wish away your hucksterism. That was the pitch. Romer explicitly pitched it exactly as quoted. I'm 99.5% sure Obama did as well and has spent the last 28 months scrubbing every reference to it. Own the tragedy of over promise, under deliver. Bobo hangs for this all by itself.
Anything to actually contest what he said, or is this typical example of a ad hom attack post all you are going to contribute?
Got caught making (*)(*)(*)(*) up once again, eh? Oh well. It's never slowed you down before. That is all that 8% promise BS was. Just another example of fabrication by conservative propaganda media and their acolytes here.
LOL -- got caught with your pants down again eh? It's amazing the way you just constantly make (*)(*)(*)(*) up and think no one will catch you. You should know better by now.
So, nothing again, eh? So, go ahead and back all that low-grade potty-mouth up. ARRA passed on February 17, 2009. Find a link to any source at all from the time prior to passage that makes the claim. You can't. No such claim was made. Your little head as usual has merely been filled with revisionist right-wing swill. Own the tragedy of over-hype and under-comprehension. You live as an inmate in a prison of manufactured ignorance. Don't forget to get me that link. 99.5% would be a pretty high number to be unable to back up.
It's ingrained on the right-wing. Lie, and if you get caught lying, lie some more. It's what and all they do.
I hate to say it mugabe, but just because you have an opinion on something doesn't make it true. Why don't you tell us than, why out of all the states, Texas has had the most job creation? The tax code in texas IS what brought companies there. They moved out of high tax liberal states like CA and others. Hence, instead of doing the easy liberal thing as to raise taxes, he didn't. I can see this is way over your head. And just incase you missed it, I was not talking about standard of living, but cost of living, which are two totally different things. Do we need another kindergarten day here at the political forums again?
Your 'history' is always through the looking glass. My Google doesn't have built in LSD skew. The Romer fraud is out there for you to find.
Texas and Perry cheated. They have an oil and natural gas industry that creates jobs. Not the sort of jobs that a liberals tofu eater in California would be willing to do but the sort that millions of Americans all across the country would love to get their hands on. Texas does not have a state income tax. So people who make money can keep more of it for themselves. It has tort reform to limit unreasonable civil judgments. And in general there is just a pro-business climate that certainly does not exist in the Obama White House right now.
Wake the up, please. Let me take this slow for you. cost of living in TX is lower than many other states. no state income tax-so they get to keep more of what they earn. therefore, even with a minimum wage job, people can still bring home decent money to afford to live. Why are you slandering minimum wage jobs and those who work those jobs anyway? would you rather them be unemployed?
So, you make your big 99.5% certain claims and then completely abandon them. What does THAT tell us? That there's nobody home over at your house, that's what. Just another shrill voice with nothing at all standing behind it. What a complete surprise that comes as...
You want the Romer report? You find it and report back. I don't play that BS game with you. Seen it too many times. I don't have the required psychedelics.
Hey ! Speaking of little heads, look who is back bloviating like a brain-dead liberal !!! How about Christine Romer, who Obama appointed as head of his "Council of Economic Advisors" ! And Jared Bernstein, chief economist and economic-policy adviser to Vice President Joe Biden. They championed ARRA for Obama ! Read more: http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1910208,00.html#ixzz1VI67hGlJ And in January, of 2009, as in before February of 2009, they issued the report that made the 8% claim. Video here of Romer talking about it. Jan 11 2009: http://change.gov/newsroom/entry/video_christna_romer_explains_a_new_report_about_job_creation/ PDF report here, Jan 9, 2009: http://otrans.3cdn.net/ee40602f9a7d8172b8_ozm6bt5oi.pdf Romer's title at the time was "Chair-Nominee-Designate, Council of Economic Advisers". That's Obama's designate Bernstein's title: "Adviser to the Vice President Elect". Then in 2010, Romer said she wished she hadn't said that Unemployment would stay below 8%: Smackdown
