Why does Rick Perry not point out that between 2007 and 2010?

Texas got 47% of all GOVERNMENT jobs created in the U.S.

125thousand gov jobs in texas in three years.

Even with the gov jobs Texas still lost over 50thousand net jobs in the same time frame.

Here is a chart from the department of labor and statistics. and an article on The Christian Science Monitor (not exactly a liberal publication)

Rick Perry sounds like Sara Palin with her " I said thanks, but no thanks' bullship.

    it's easy to fudge "job growth numbers"... ask cons about Obama's "jobs created" numbers...

    but unemployment is hard to fake... and Texas is at 8 percent and I'm not impressed...

    Why doesn't Rick Perry admit in 2007 he started going to Bilderburg meetings?

    Reminds you of the Obama slogan " LIVES TOUCHED " in relationship to jobs.

    Perry...another corporate puppet for hire.
