You know, we are doing pretty good here in Texas. Now some areas have had some of the same problems as the rest of the USA but we seem to have dodged the real bad part. Mainly the big city areas. But still not that bad.
Texas has always been a little better off in bad time than most states. We are more diversafied than a lot of states so the valleys in the economy are not as deep.
I run a small business here in West Texas and the current admin. does NOTHING to help me.
I have held off hiring because of no real direction in the recovery.

As for Perry for Pres. I am not on that horse yet. I have not decided who has the least amount of bull S**t on their boots.
I know I want Obama on the unemployment line but have not see who I would like to see to this point.
