Some replies following an article about Romney and Perry....I found these replies to be interesting.....


I am a native Texan and here are a few things about Rick Perry:
Thanks to Perry the schools here are ranked 47th and there is a multi-billion dollar deficit (approximately $4-billion) in the state’s educational system that his policies created. He was warned by the then Republican State Comptroller 5-years ago that his tax cuts were going to cause the problem that Texas schools are going through right now. Most local school districts are facing huge budget deficits some in the multi-million dollar range and are laying off staff and teachers just to cover these shortfalls. In addition many schools are increasing class sizes to unheard of levels, in many incidents there are 30 or more students to a single teacher.
There is a looming $27-billion deficit due next year for the state’s budget that is not being talked about nationally but we in Texas are painfully aware of it. Perry took $6.4-billion in stimulus money from the Federal Government to help pay this years state deficit. This allowed the $9.1-billion State Rainy Day Fund, that Rick Perry controls, to go untouched.
