Thread: Texas wins in U.S. economy shift

  1. Default Re: Texas wins in U.S. economy shift

    Perry likes to mention that he's added over 250,000 new jobs in the past 5 years but he fails to mention that 90-95% of those jobs are in the service industry and pay at or slightly above the minimum wage of $7.25. Personal incomes in Texas fall below the national median across just about every geographical area in Texas.

    As James said, Texas is a lot of smoke and mirrors.

    How much does it cost to guard the TexMEX border? Could that be counted in government assistance? Got to watch out for those that post using numbers that are slightly biased one way or the other. So everyone in Texas is working cooking Tacos and enchiladas?

    Wow, are you way behind. Perry dropped out a long time ago. The issue is not Texas,Jobs and Texas debt (taxpayer approved bonds), it's the US,jobs, and the bankrupting of our childrens future via debt.

    50 states, plus:
    Non-official territories/districts where voters can cast a ballot for President in a primary:
    51. District of Columbia.
    52. Minor Outlying Islands (about 11 islands) in the Pacific


    Officail U.S. territories:
    53. Puerto Rico.
    54. U.S. Virgin Islands.
    55. American Samoa.
    56. Guam.
    57. Northern Mariana Islands.

    We used to have the Panama Canal Zone too, but we gave that back to the Panamanians in 1979, so it doesn't count anymore.
    57 was right as shown above. I hereby award 3 points for creative history revision, creative statistic generation, and creative spin.
