Where is the miracle in Texas?Would be happy to when you show me the labor force growth in those states. Isn't California a border state? Didn't it go from 11.8 to 12% in June to July? Arizona from 9.3 to 9.4? Congratulations to New Mexico 6.8 to 6.7.
Let's see, 12% and 9.4% are lower than 8.4%????
My bet is you didn't see the Obama results either but anyone that would have paid attention to his resume expected these kind of results. This is what happens when you elect someone without experience and someone incompetent to the Presidency. Absolutely no leadership skills and executive experience at all.
Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 25+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch! 38% JAR and well over 50% disapproval ratings.

Some of those “displaced” workers may become “discouraged” workers, and officially fall off the government’s statistical radar.
Equity markets are at (or near) the price levels in 2000.
You know, i bet in real life you are a pretty good guy. It is a shame that you allowed a democrat in the white house to get the best of you.....
California is on the Mexican border as is Arizone yet people and business keep moving to TX. San Diego could handle more businesses moving their. Why aren't they?
Again, I didn't vote for Obama. I didn't see him as the best candidate.
I compare the two, Obama and Perry, though, and I see the worse candidate being Perry, not Obama. I base it off of what both have and/or have not done in their time in office and on what they plan to do. Perry has extreme plans and no record of actually doing anything to significantly improve the TX economy. He is more than willing to assume that trickle-down economics actually works and dismiss scientific information in other areas to help his campaign donors.
In voting in 2008, I checked out the resume of both McCain and Obama, the choice was easy. McCain wasn't my choice but he beat the alternative. My bet is that I have voted for more Democrats than you have Republicans although neither of us can prove it on line.
Hate to tell you this, but, at least as of 2008, Arizona's population was growing faster than Texas' poplulation. California was not far behind. List of U.S. states by population growth rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So you think the growth in the labor force in TX is due to the military? Interesting how demonization of TX is the new tactic for the left. Slightly conservative? What does that mean, conservative on what issues if not taxes, freedoms, personal responsibilties?
So your main criterion is flip flopping on the issues? I see why you support Romney.
Then you are buying the rhetoric and not the results. Would you rather live in a state or country with freedoms, personal responsibility, and the opportunities presented in TX or the nanny state and govt. involvement promoted by Obama?
Wow. This response had nothing to do with what you quoted.
To address it though, first I never made the claim that the increase was due even mostly to the military. I said that the increase in military in that area was one factor. In fact, I myself helped the TX economy twice due to military members being in the area, once while my brother was stationed at Ft. Hood and again when my husband was in A-school at Lachland AFB. Without my family being there for the military, I would have never traveled to TX.
Second, I have maintained that much of the job creation in TX is due to the circumstances of TX, not any policies of the governor. There could have been things that the governor/government could have done to slow growth in TX, but there was probably also stuff that the TX government/governor could have done to help TX grow more prosperous without negatively affecting education and healthcare levels.
Again, what policies did Perry enact that improved the TX economy?
I'd rather live in a state with falling unemployment, better paying jobs, better schools, and a lower uninsured rate. Guess that's why it's a horse race.
I posted the unemployment rates for all the Mexican border states which of course you ignored. Now Sheik would ask Pb why he continues to lie but I won't do that. This is 2011 by the way and I want to personally thank California for sending TX so many of their businesses.

Along with this map you need to show how many people are moving to Texas and what the population increase is, or else this map is useless. No one else has explained why the mass migration to Texas comparatively, and I can't think of why anyone would move from another state to Texas for a minimum wage job.
Actually I'm very concerned about the population growth here. We simply do not have the water resources to sustain population growth at the current rate. Lakes are running dry.
Your probably right, but how many government employees do the blue states have compared to the red, you need to do some comparisons.
Probably because GW Bush made it quit raining and Perry is keeping with that policy.

Except, the political climate isn't really what is helping business in TX. This was posted before to try to show that it was, because TX is 2nd for top state to do business.
News Headlines
But if you look at the separate areas that determine what makes TX in the top states to do business, it is due to transportation and infrastructure, cost of living, access to capital, and tech and innovation. TX actually ranks 33rd, which is pretty bad considering, for the cost of doing business. And Oregon, since you brought it up, is well above TX for the cost of doing business and is just 5 ranks below TX for business friendliness.
Tort reform for one and that led to the addition of 26,000 new doctors.
Pssst Republican mantra 1 Government can't create jobs......yet Republican politicians can take credit for "creating" jobs.
And blame Obama for not creating jobs. But the millions of jobs destroyed while bush* was president.....JOBS ARE NOT THE PRESIDENTS JOB!!
It is if you believe government is the answer. :coffeepap
Republicans have a lot of ideas and is made up today of a big tent, something the liberals could learn from. Republicans never proposed universal healthcare and a federal mandate but that doesn't stop people like you from grasping for straws. We shall see probably my next Spring how the Supreme Court rules. In the meantime, try to stick to the thread topic.
