We were assured by a lib here that 47% of recent govt jobs were
created in Texas. Of couse the same guy told us that Kenya is in
Australia.
So, in the universe in which I live where Kenya is in AFRICA, here is
what CNN (no friend of Rick Perry) says:

"Construction jobs, for instance, have grown by 5.4% in the past year,
according to the center. Employment in professional services is up
4.5% and in the hospitality business by 3%. Only the government and
information technology sectors have seen drops, of 1.4% and 5%,
respectively.

"Texas has fared better than most of the nation," said Terry Clower,
who directs the Center for Economic Development and Research at the
University of North Texas. "Private sector job creation has been
pretty strong compared to most other states."

Note, that govt jobs dropped in Texas while Professional services went
up 4.5%. Govt jobs cannot account for 47% of new govt jobs while
dropping 1.4% unless Texas is really getting rid of govt jobs and
refilling them at a rate less than they eliminate them.

Further note that Obama friendly CNN says in the above paragraph that:
"Private sector job creation has been pretty strong compared to most
other states."

Maybe, just maybe, in the universe where Kenya is in Australia, Obama
really is a genius.........However, we do not live in that universe.

Don't get all excited.
25 states have lower unemployment than Texas.
Texas has the highest unemployment rate it's had in decades.
Texas is tied with Mississippi for percentage of min-wage jobs.
When the fed stimulus runs out Texas will start laying off teachers,
health field workers, and other state employee whose jobs rely on fed
funding.
Texas is a deadbeat state with a huge deficit.
But here's the worst of it.
All you hear good about Texas comes from Texans.
What CNN said above is from the mouth of Texans.
Only a fool would believe a Texan talking about Texas.
Wait...now I know why you get all excited about Texas.
