A message from Uncle Ben to Gov. Richard

[Sugar Ron]

STFU, ya big dummy


Seriously, can you believe the arrogance of this "D" student ... trying to give the Fed Chairman job advice?

LMAO

Between Commander Bachmann and this yahoo, the election season promises to be a veritable whopper-fest...

[Tom]

Uh, sounds like really GOOD advice to me.
BTW, what do you think is more important, Sugar Foot, his college grades or the fact that he has created 10 kazillion times as many jobs as Obama has?
Every time you see the reports on how many jobs were created in the last month, remember to deduct the ones from Texas. :lol::lol::lol:

BTW, where is YOUR college transcript?

[Pell Mell]

I seem to recall a documentry about Brazil where it said the president that turned the country around was a working man with a 4th grade education. ;)

[mostpost]

Perry is playing to the ignorant Tea Party base. You're going to hear a lot of Anti -government rhetoric from him as the campaign goes on. You're going to hear him talk about how Obama hates America even though Perry was the one who said Texas should secede form the United States. You will hear him brag about how he balanced the the Texas state budget. You won't hear him talk about the fact that he did it with stimulus money from the federal government. Money that he originally said he would not accept. You won't hear Perry talk about the fact that his budget cuts may cost 100,000 Texas teachers their jobs. That is one third of all the teachers in Texas. He will not mention that many of the jobs created in Texas are the direct result of stimulus money provided by the federal government.

Please, Tim

A bunch of economists have already been punching gaping holes in Richard's claim that he's some kind of super jobs creator.

And my transcript is safely tucked away in that USC Registrar's Office. :cool:

[bigmack]

many of the jobs created in Texas are the direct result of stimulus money provided by the federal government.
Back it up with fact.

[The Judge]

"There's an important caveat, however, that the Texas governor is unlikely to volunteer: Virtually all of those new jobs are in the government sector, not in private enterprise."

This claim is patently false - please refer to BLS data (I've done so). You have a habit of posting false information (e.g., your 2% tax rate differential claim). Please stop. Thank you.

BS alert! Go find the REAL quote. He never said Texas SHOULD secede.

Approximately 45,000 jobs were created as the result of contracts, loans and grants provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment act.

Since Feb of 2009 Texas has added 230,000 jobs.

Please review with us how many jobs were created from Dec 2000 until Jun 2011 (latest datapt), then tell us how 45k is "many" in that context.

Also, realize the 45k claim is based on the same econometric models that were used to project job creation before the stimulus package.

Texas Used Stimulus to Cover 97% of Its Deficit
By Derek Thompson

Even as he railed against the Recovery Act, Texas Gov. Rick Perry used the government's stimulus plan to cover 97 percent of the state's budget deficit in 2009:

Turns out Texas was the state that depended the most on those very stimulus funds to plug nearly 97% of its shortfall for fiscal 2010, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Texas, which crafts a budget every two years, was facing a $6.6 billion shortfall for its 2010-2011 fiscal years. It plugged nearly all of that deficit with $6.4 billion in Recovery Act money, allowing it to leave its $9.1 billion rainy day fund untouched.
"Stimulus was very helpful in getting them through the last few years," said Brian Sigritz, director of state fiscal studies for the National Association of State Budget Officers, said of Texas.

In FY 2012, Texas' deficit is projected to come in at $12 billion, more than 30 percent of its budget -- the third highest rate in the country. But the states, which are collectively facing a $120 billion shortfall next year, are unlikely to see any more stimulus, in large part due to the efforts of conservatives like Gov. Perry, who have slammed the Recovery Act as a wasteful and ineffective government bailout. You make your own bed, etc.

45k out of roughly 1 mm (note I only went back to Jan 2001) isn't "many."

If you have referred to BLS data post a link. Tell us why my claim is patently false. Refer to my #10 in which I present the numbers and a link to Recovery.gov. Also check out The Judge's post where he shows that most of the Texas job gains were not in the private sector, but in the public sector.

Again, stop posting falsehoods---roughly 30% is not most. I don't get my information from magazine articles. I use primary sources.

BS alert! Go find the REAL quote. He never said Texas SHOULD secede.

You're correct only in the sense that Perry did not use the word should.
He said Texas could secede. He said they might want to secede.
Link:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/15/gov-rick-perry-texas-coul_n_187490.html

Another time he incorrectly talked about the idea that when Texas was admitted to the union it was given the option to leave if it wanted to.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/61030.html

excerpt:
“When we came into the nation in 1845, we were a republic, we were a stand-alone nation,” the governor can be heard saying. “And one of the deals was, we can leave anytime we want. So we’re kind of thinking about that again.”

Of course in all of these comments, Perry is playing to the Know nothing Tea Party crowd.

Balderdash. You're still using Recovery.org numbers? :lol:

http://money.cnn.com/news/storysupplement/economy/stimulus_jobs/

And you are using figures through September. And it does not even say which September. Can't be 2011. Might be 2010. Could even be 2009.

[Saratoga_Mike]

And you are using figures through September. And it does not even say which September. Can't be 2011. Might be 2010. Could even be 2009.

Regardless, roughly 5% isn't "many" of the jobs created under Perry. As for the job creation that resulted from the Stimulus bill, it's an estimate generated from an econometric model. I don't even care for Perry, but there's no need to misrepresent facts.

[mostpost]

45k out of roughly 1 mm (note I only went back to Jan 2001) isn't "many."
Really? You went back to 2001 and compared those job creation numbers to a stimulus that did not begin until Feb. 2009 (maybe later) Hell, why not go back to 22BC? Imagine how impressive that would make your numbers. :rolleyes:

You compare things that are alike. i.e. Number of jobs created after Feb. 2009 with the number of jobs credited to the stimulus. In this case 230,00 compared to 45,000. 45,000 is many. It is not most. I did not say it was most. I said it was many. By definition "A large but indefinite number"

Know nothing?? Methinks you are a wee bit disillusioned. In any grass roots movement you will have a mix of different degrees of intelligence. I'd assess the intelligence level of the Tea Party as a whole FAR ABOVE the typical Obama supporter who thought Obama was going to take care of them out of his "stash".

Now go and play the race card on me like you always do.

Why do I use the term "know nothing" in referring to the Tea Party?

[The Judge]

see post #7 .

[Mike at A+]

Why do I use the term "know nothing" in referring to the Tea Party?
Because you're a partisan liberal Democrat and personal attacks are all you have when even the president runs on a negative platform. He blames Bush, the Congress, anyone but himself and the other idiots in his party like Reid and Pelosi. I know that. You know that and the TEA PARTY knows that. The difference is that the Tea Party isn't afraid to say what should be obvious to everyone else. Partisanship prevents Obama supporters from speaking the truth. He's a huge failure and really needs to stop acting unpresidential and start doing his job instead of taking vacations, playing golf and campaigning 16 months before the election while the country is in sore need of a real leader.

Because you swallow the liberal pablum and puke out what you are told to believe.

So far there are no correct answers, although there is a hint that Tom might know. Nah, that's probably just an accident.

Here is the correct answer.
The Know Nothing Party formed circa 1850.
The Tea Party Formed circa 2009. It is a political party regardless of what Tom thinks.
The Know Nothing Party opposed immigration, particularly Irish and German Catholic immigrants.
The Tea Party opposes immigration particularly from Mexico.
The Know Nothing Party believed that ALL office holders should be natural born citizens; Federal, State and Local.
The Tea Party believes the current President is not a natural born citizen,
The Know Nothing Party was afraid that the pope was going to impose papal law on the United States.
The Tea Party is terrified that the caliphate is going to impose Sharia Law.
Members of the Know Nothing Party knew nothing of the existence of the Tea Party.
Members of the Tea Party know nothing of the existence of the Know Nothing Party.
One of the groups has an excuse. :rolleyes:

[Mike at A+]

The Tea Party does not oppose immigration from Mexico. It just expects that Mexicans (as well as any other nationality) immigrates LEGALLY.

SOME people in the Tea Party are birthers. SOME people in the Democratic Party still believe that George W. Bush planted explosives in the WTC and the New Orleans levees.

SOME people in the Tea Party think that some OTHER people want Sharia law in America.

[bigmack]

What I wouldn't give to see mostposty delivering mail 'round North Riverside IL ('burb of Chicago, who probably has a fair share of Tea Party minded folk) with a button saying he thought Tea Party people suck.

I think I finally figured it. The Tea Party is like a union. Actual union nerds, like mostie, are green with envy in the amount of power they yield WITHOUT having to pony up lettuce like they've had to do for decades. :lol:

Well you can't blame him. He's only following the examples set by his party. Democrats try to paint all conservatives as "bigoted against hispanics" because they oppose illegal immigration and most of the illegals who come here are from Mexico and of course, Mexicans are hispanic. They conveniently preach this nonsense to every other member of the group "hispanics" like Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans etc etc. After all, it can't possibly be the illegal act of sneaking into America that conservatives object to. It MUST be the tint of skin that conservatives don't like. So Dem politicians run with that platform which of course is just another form of the race card they feel entitled to play. It's ENGRAINED in their talking points.

If they didn't focus on this stuff, they have to address the real issues, and no lib in his right mind wants to do that.

I did not forget the word ILLEGAL. I did not use it because I believe that you do oppose any immigration from Mexico. A proof of that is your support of the Arizona "papers please" law. Any law that targets a particular group shows a bias against that group. You may not want a particular law banning immigration from Mexico, but you sure would prefer they stay at home.

Again, you are dead wrong. Me personally, I believe that anyone wanting to come to live in America should have SOMETHING OF VALUE TO OFFER. I don't care which country they are coming from. For what you describe as the "papers please" law, you DO realize that every natural born American is required to produce license, registration and proof of insurance (i.e. PAPERS) during a routine traffic stop. If those documents are expired, missing or fake, further police action may be required. This is true for both Americans and "visitors". If "visitors" are deemed to be here illegally, deportation is warranted. If Americans are driving with expired, missing or fake documents, they can face heavy fines, revocation of driving privileges and even jail time.

What would you propose as a penalty if an illegal alien is driving with missing or fake documents (notice I omitted "expired" because illegals shouldn't be in possession of valid driving documents).

Anyway, noticed that pesky little "Truth-O-Meter" has been paying quite a lot of attention lately to Rick Bush ... er, Rick Perry:

"Twenty-five states have lower unemployment than Texas" which is "tied with Mississippi for more minimum-wage jobs than anywhere in the United States."


TRUE
