First we learn that the Texas budget was balanced with a Federal bailout, now this!

Originally shared by Daily Kos

I think Rick Perry is going to get eaten alive in this campaign. If being an Al Gore supporter hasn’t already doomed him with the tea partiers, and if his dull, glazed-eyes George Bushian demeanor doesn’t doom him with everyone else, then his own record ought to do it.

    Great chart plotting unemployment per capita! I hope the media or the President actually use this sort of information instead of devolving into useless soundbites. I’m enough of a geek to wish politicians used graphs in their speeches. 😛

    Not sure if it is citizens thrift or the state government to blame for the low leverage there. 😉
