That’s not altogether irrelevant. Texas is, or can be painted as, somewhat of an exception to the near-recession gripping the nation.

The near recession? I promise you that Texas is feeling the REAL recession as much an anyone. The jobs being created here that Perry is so proud of are not living wage jobs. The reason for the reported low unemplyment is because most unemployed people are screwed out of the unemployment they paid into by a corrupt board that is stacked 3 to 2 against them.
