The level Brainwashing done to you is amazing. Texas, Despite the federal Government is in good shape! If your model is California then Texas will never turn blue! What truth would it be, in someones noses? What’s obvious? Is 9.8% unemployment better then 6.1?

Where is your honesty? California is a prime example of what being a blue state gets you. Insane taxes and spending, over regulation, and the the democrats owned by the unions!

Only the ignorant think Texans are ignorant. People who have guns don’t love their guns they just have a right to own them. There are a lot of Bible thumpers and thank God for that! Gov Perry may not look good to you but that state destoys California on how to run a state! California is a state that has been ran by the left for years. The economy is in horrible shape unemployment is 9.8% compared to 6.1% for Texas. The Public Unions own the Democrats in California and regulations and taxes have choked that state into oblivion!

If you think Texas is backwards while talking about Califonia, maybe you should either study or move!

Wake up Dominick! Texas has a 6.1% unemployment rate, and the 3 fastest growing cities in the country. Austin, Dallas and Houston. They are a model for how the economy should work! In contrast, California has a 9.8% unemployment rate, incredibly high taxes and a public union sector that owns the Democrats! They just balanced their budget but sent 28 billion in debt down the road. Califonia is a prime model for how not to run a state! One thing you said is true. Perry was not a good presidential candidate!

If you think the economy of California comes close to the economy of Texas you need to read something. California has choked themselves with incredibly high taxes, over reach on regulations and a public union that owns the democrats there! The business climate is bad and therefore unemployment is high.

The national Memo loses a lot of credibility trying to say Texas should look to Californnia for anything!

California Unemployment: 9.8%
Texas: 6.1%

Some years ago Rick Perry support changes for the Food Stamps, Medicaid, TANF instead hired more Advisors he is been supporting the “private industries” running the show with TIERS (Texas Integrated Eligibility Redesign System), funded private companies by ex-Texas Dept of Human Services, now Texas Health and Human Services Commission commissioners that some suddenly resigned others retired, calling 211 people complains that their called lost, or nobodyknows how to help them, application from clients have been lost when they received them by the Portal. Investigators & Home visits Techs should be hired due to client has been missusing the benefits, selling (Food Stams & Tanf (Cash assistance) I have personally seen people in stores like Wal-Mart & HEB doing this type of transactions, and when we report this to 211 they do not do anything. This will help the economy of this State even the Nation. I feel so sorry for the elderly thay they really need the assistance.

Well from the information I’ve read here Rick Perry is doing such a great job in Texas maybe he could move in with his asshole buddy Joe Ham1, Ole Joe seems to be the only authority on Texas andCalifornia and everybody else that lives in those two States don’t know what they are talkng about, Friends let me tell you about Ole Joe he hates the National Memo so bad that he would burn it down if he could but instead of going to Fox or some other channel he forces himself to post comments here with us, what he can’t realize is that he would be doing himself and us a big favor if he just went away because if he can’t tell the truth, we are not interested in his bullshit lies.

The only thing that keeps me in Texas is being married to a Texas Tech I love very much. My body may be in Texas, but my hearts in Oklahoma.

Dianna S: I have taught grades 5,6,8,9,11, & 12 and spent two years at Baylor, Oklahoma State, and SMU. I finally decided it was better for me to use my psychology training and spent 35 years working with veterans disabled by the fruits of war in a mental institution. I have been asked many times why I left teaching. It.s very simple. I had rather be locked up with patients on a lockward than be dummed down in the classroom due to lack of funds. I will always admire teachers for their work, but I will never be a slave to ignorant leaders that can’t chew gum and walk straight at the same time. Governor Perry is simply a product of such a system.
