Ungrateful: TX Gov. again whines about financial aid.

He's going to have to decide whether he believes in the need for federal taxes or not. One day Perry is for Texas leaving the union and the next he's complaining about not receiving enough federal tax dollars. People like this can never see any legitimate issues when others need financial assistance but when it's them, suddenly the money should be easy to round up. During the stimulus debate Perry couldn't stop bashing it, yet that money covered 97% of state deficit.

snip:

But an administration official with knowledge of federal assistance provided to Texas tells CNN the state has been already been allocated 16 fire management assistance grants that provide financial support for the specific purpose of fighting fires. Texas has been approved to receive six more grants of this kind to aid state and local governments with firefighting efforts that include equipment, field camps, mobilizing and demobilizing activities. The most recent fire management grant was approved Wednesday.

3. Perry used fed stimulus funds to faux balance his state budget.

Then, he prayed (hard!!!) for rain, to save his drought-stricken state.

Now, he complains that tornado victims in other states are getting fed funds.

What an idiot.
What an idiot.
What an idiot.
