Perry Loves Suckling the Federal tit

[polsongrizz]

One more full of crap ballbagger....

In his campaign kickoff last Saturday, Texas Gov. Rick Perry burnished his conservative credentials by attacking the idea of deficit stimulus spending. "Washington's insatiable desire to spend our children's inheritance on failed stimulus plans and other misguided economic theories have given us record debt and left us with far too many unemployed," he said.

But it was not always so for Perry. Back in 2003, lobbyists under Perry's direction went to Capitol Hill to lobby the Republican Congress for more than a billion dollars in federal deficit spending on "stimulus." And they won. A 2005 report (pdf) by the Texas Office of State-Federal Relations boasted of "$1.2 billion in temporary state fiscal relief to Texas" through Medicaid that Perry's lobbying operation had secured. (Watch TIME's video "Rick Perry Is Ready to Run for President.")

And that was just the beginning. The same report details millions more that flowed from the federal treasury into Texas as a result of the official state lobbying campaign, which was overseen by Perry, a Republican Lt. Governor and the Republican speaker of the state house between 2003 and 2005. In several cases, the Texas lobbying campaign won funds for programs that Perry now says he opposes as fiscally irresponsible intrusions on state responsibilities.

So he changed his mind. Kind of like BO changing his mind about the importance of raising the debt ceiling, something he voted against in 2006. Politicians "evolve".

Wait, so he asked for some of the money that his state kicked in to the kitty back since there are other states grabbing at the cash to make budgets work?

Geez that's horrible. I mean working to get the federal government to stop taking a big chunk so you don't have to jump through hoops to get it back is a terrible thing.

That would be like putting money in a bank and then going and asking for a withdrawal. How can he think that is not gonna look bad for him?

WTF?
