[quote=briansd1][quote=afx114]Also, Perry is directly responsible for Texas’ record drought, because he turned to praying for rain and since then the drought has only gotten worse. God has spoken, and he has said that Perry is not worthy.[/quote]

Krugman wrote a good article on Texas miracles.

The Texas Unmiracle

By PAUL KRUGMAN
Published: August 14, 2011

As expected, Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, has announced that he is running for president. And we already know what his campaign will be about: faith in miracles.

Brian: Here is Richard Fisher, head of Dallas Federal Reserve Bank (and a Democrat), speaking on the topic of Texas job creation: http://www.dallasfed.org/news/speeches/fisher/2011/fs110817.cfm

Interestingly, its quite at odds with that Krugman hatchet piece in the NYT. Speaking of which, Kevin Williamson at NRO does a thorough job of debunking the Krugman piece: http://www.nationalreview.com/exchequer/274695/paul-krugman-still-wrong-about-texas
