He's basing his entire campaign on a single data-point: Texas, with 10 percent of the country's population, has produced 37 percent of net new jobs in the U.S. since the recovery.

That kernel of truth, as I noted recently, is mostly a result of a massive increase in the state's population – much of it due to Hispanic immigration. Texas' unemployment rate has actually risen even as those jobs were being created. Texas also leads the nation in creating crappy minimum wage jobs without benefits – the number of minimum wage workers increased by 150 percent between 2007 and 2010.

this is only a portion of the article. you can research the rest!

Rick Perry has unveiled a groundbreaking new jobs plan. Literally groundbreaking, that is. Figuratively, it hardly breaks any new ground at all, the Washington Post points out.

The plan, essentially, is “Drill, baby, drill.” The erstwhile Republican presidential frontrunner called for oil drilling off the East Coast, on federal lands in the West, and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He also called for dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency to get rid of its pesky pollution regulations. Perry said he would accomplish the overhaul through executive orders.

“My plan would make us more secure by tapping America’s true energy potential,” he said in the speech, delivered at a steel plant outside of Pittsburgh.

With everything else going wrong in his campaign, Perry has turned to concrete policy proposals in a bid to appeal to the Republican base and to be taken more seriously in Washington, the Post explains. How is it going over? Well, it managed to draw disdainful responses from the campaigns of both President Obama and Michele Bachmann. So it seems people are paying attention, at least.

Lets expose this dude!

Rick Perry Meets With Koch Brothersby Back To BasicsFollow .

Could this be the Koch brothers' 2012 Presidential candidate?



The Statesman reported that Rick Perry, in the middle of the special legislative session he called, flew off to Vail, Colorado, on a donor's private airplane to a summit hosted by the Koch Brothers. Rick Perry is no stranger to meeting with conservative billionaires to plan how to enact corporate-friendly policies at the expense of Texan families, and it's for this reason that he could be the preferred presidential candidate for the Koch Brothers.
It's rather striking given the catastrophic budget cuts that public schools, teachers, and families are facing in the special session, that Perry would choose to meet with the notorious Koch brothers. They are known for backing the astroturf Tea Party operations through the Americans for Prosperity, and supporting conservative think tanks such as the Cato Institute, and the Heritage Foundation.

Rick Perry hits all the marks of the Republican dream candidate for the Koch brothers. He hates "Obamacare," he cynically exploits the Tea Party base to the benefit of his wealthy donors, and doesn't care about how Texans are affected by draconian budget cuts to their schools, and bad environmental policies.

They share the same philosophy on these issues. The Koch brothers have long mounted a campaign against environmental issues that would affect their petroleum and mining interests they have in Texas such as these ones:


1. Flint Hills Resources, LP which operates the Texas Pipeline system, which runs from Corpus Christi to San Antonio, Austin, Bastrop, Waco, and Dallas/Ft. Worth markets.
2. Risk management firm called Kock Supply and Trading, which has offices all over the world, including in Houston, that provides risk management in crude oil, refined petroleum, natural gas, and other commodities.
3. Georgia-Pacific, which has nine facilities in Texas.

do you really want more of this?
