CaP'N GRuNGe Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 So you are telling me that since 2009, Texas has seen job creation? Yes, in real numbers but the population has increased at a faster rate and said population growth accounted for most of the job growth as noted in my newstory rather than any specific Perry policies.

Azazello1313 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 this is a great read and a thorough account of the texas jobs numbers Full disclosure: I don't like Rick Perry for our next president. I have my reasons that aren't worth going into here. However, when I was watching the GOP debate and pro-Perry people started bringing up Rick Perry's job numbers as a cudgel against other candidates, I looked into the BLS data on Texas jobs. Having familiarized myself with the data, I started noticing claims on the Texas jobs data that started popping up that directly contradicted what I was seeing in the data. So I wanted to clear up a couple of these common misconceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westvirginia Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Does anyone have any believable stats on the "oil bloom"? It would seem adding jobs in that industry is in contradiction to other things, namely reduced demand/increased price of oil. Though I can see how they could be starting to pull more oil out of the ground in Texas and elswhere if the Gulf is now off limits. I just don't know enough about that industry.

SEC=UGA Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Perry; Evolution just a theory with gaps Great, another one of those guys. Let's look at this statement: What is evolution referred to as in the scientific community, a "Theory", right? In this theory we do not have ALL of the lineage indicating the procession of evolution from species to species or within species, thus there are "Gaps". I accept evolution as a fact, but, must acknowledge that evolution is a theory and that gaps in the evolutionary history of species exists.

rbmcdonald Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) The war of words against Rick Perry continues to escalate, with frequent rogue Republican Bruce Bartlett getting in on the action: Former Treasury official Bruce Bartlett labeled newly-minted Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry "an idiot" Friday. Bartlett, who served at Treasury under former President George H.W. Bush and as a domestic policy adviser to the late President Ronald Reagan, delivered the choice words to the Texas Gov. in reference to his recent comments about Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. "Rick Perry's an idiot, and I don't think anyone would disagree with that," Bartlett said Friday on CNN's "American Morning." http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/61706.html This may be the most entertaining election cycle ever.

Swear words? You thin skinned people never cease to amaze me. When will you and BP realize this is just a message board and you don't have to take things serious. Plus I am 100% convinced that if you made the same crack that i did about me as opposed to me making it about you BP would not have given tewo craps about it.
