Democrats claim that the $17.1 billion in Stimulus Funds that Texas received is largely the reason why that state created forty percent of net jobs gained in the USA the last two years.
Well, if this critic is true, then the full Stimulus should have been only $42.75 billion. Right? $17.1 billion gives us 40% jobs; another $17.1 billion would give us another forty percent, and then half of another $17.1 would give us another twenty percent, and we would be where we are now with $42.75 billion instead of a $787 billion bill. No?
While I am at it, Texas has more than 8% of the USA population, yet received less than 7% of the $267.6 billion already granted, awarded and loaned through the American Recovery Act. If Perry gave us with his Stimulus fund a few balanced budgets and forty percent of the country’s new jobs, then he did a job better than other Big State Governors.
