Governor Rick Perry: You Are $30 Billion Short, Dude

[Joanne98]

Poor pathetic Governor Perry. He will stop at nothing to take the focus off of the $30 billion rotten egg that his self-serving and reckless libertarian leaning policies have dumped on Texas. He will pontificate about stupidity such as emergency sonograms, abortion and culture war insanity. He will run to California (a state that he loves to hate)in order to raise money for himself while telling everyone that his soon to be third world banana republic state is the envy of the world.

Avoid, baby, avoid.

In an article published in the Houston Chronicle Rick Perry is said to have demanded for the U.S. Congress to pass a constitutional amendment to balance its budget.

"It fits into his overall philosophy about government and fiscal responsibility," Perry spokesman Mark Miner said. "In Texas, at the end of the day, the budget will be balanced. It's the Texas way versus the federal way, which is to continue spending without being accountable."
Dewhurst, in an Austin American-Statesman article co-written with state Sen. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, contended that Congress "lacks fiscal responsibility and is spending all of us into serious debt. ... It is time for Texas to lead the way and seek a convention so that the states may propose a national balanced budget amendment."

I wonder how many margaritas these boys consumed before speaking to reporters.

The Republican buffoonery and ravings about the U.S. budget are pretty hilarious considering that Rick Perry, David Dewhurst and the Texas GOP has yet to cope with its own humdinger of a fiscal fiasco. In fact, it is only very recently that Perry was somehow forced to find the courage to admit that his $30 billion shortfall exists.
