Our esteemed 39% self-serving governor Rick Perry showed us just how pathetically out of touch he is with the needs of everyday Texans. The dude very self-righteously turned down evil doing federal bailout money to extend the benefits for the unemployed. But once Perry turned down the bucks our revered governor suddenly realized that our state's unemployment compensation piggy bank was about to go broke.
So, what does Perry do to fix his stupid decision? Alas, he crawled to Washington to beg the big spending "socialist" feds for a loan to cover our piggy bank's shortfall.
Now, I call taking out a loan when one could have gotten the funding for free a really dumb and stupid thing to do. Not only is Perry's decision to turn down bail out funds ridiculous but it is also very calloused and mean-spirited. Essentially, Perry stuck it to us all. Businesses will consequently pay higher taxes and they will pass that burden along to consumers. Folks will have to pay higher prices for goods and services at a time when many are already struggling to make ends meet.
