Just a quick question...Rick Perry created the Texas Enterprise Fund and gave it $440 million Texas' taxpayer dollars to distribute. The objective...and now the claim...was thousands of new jobs would be created.

So what do you call this fund? Is this "income redistribution"? Or is it government injecting itself into the economy that would be best managed by the private sector?

Tell me what the differences are between what Barack Obama has done, albeit on a larger scale, than what Rick Perry has done in Texas?

By the way, the Wall Street Journal (a long way from a pinko, left-leaning rag) has analyzed the Texas Enterprise Fund and has determined that money was directed to Perry's political supporters and that the job growth that Perry claims as the result of the fund is no where near what Perry claims. Here's the article...

As I've said many times before, don't listen to what the candidates say...they'll say what they think we want to hear. Rather, watch what they do and what they have done. That's a much better predictor of how they'll govern than anything they say in a campaign stump speech.

Those who claim that Perry is a conservative surely must not be considering how he has governed in Texas as governor. He's a religious conservative for sure. But fiscally, I can't see very much space between him and Obama, based on how they have actually governed.
