“It’s legal plunder,” said state Representative David Simpson, a Longview Republican backed by Tea Party activists.

Pay-to-Play

Sanderson Farms

Joe Sanderson Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, gave $100,000 to Perry’s campaign committee in two $50,000 contributions, in 2009 and 2010. Sanderson didn’t respond to a request for comment through an assistant.

Dallas billionaire Harold Simmons, who has given more than $1.2 million to Perry campaigns, won permission to build a radioactive-waste dump in West Texas over the objection of state environmental regulatory employees worried about possible water contamination.

McDonald’s Austin-based group tied $17.1 million in Perry political support to 921 appointees, or their spouses, on state boards and commissions, in a September 2010 report.

Governor Oversees Funds

the state plans to provide $25 million a year for a decade to bring Formula One car racing to Austin,

B.J. “Red” McCombs, a co-founder of broadcaster Clear Channel Communications who backs the Formula One project, has given more than $170,000 to Perry’s campaign committee, the records show.

Job Creation

Only 11 of 50 recipients of enterprise fund money that had promised to create jobs by 2009 met their goals,

Conflicting Figures

By the end of 2009, companies receiving enterprise fund money listed 22,544 jobs created in Texas,

Perry claimed in January 2010 that the fund had spurred the creation of 54,600 jobs.

Comptroller Susan Combs, also a Republican, said six state economic-development programs including the funds overseen by Perry were responsible for less than 1 percent of those jobs.

Unknown to Lawmakers

When enterprise fund employees appeared before the Legislature, they often couldn’t or wouldn’t testify about the positions actually created,

Auditor Seeks Transparency

Closed-door funding decisions should be more transparent, Auditor John Keel said in a report in April.

Actual job figures for the fund aren’t available because they weren’t part of reporting requirements, she said. The Legislature has since made such reports mandatory.

Shared Control

Money for the technology fund was included in the budget for the two years that begin today, even after lawmakers closed an estimated $15 billion deficit partly by shortchanging schools and Medicaid, the health-care program for the poor.

We’ve worked hard here in Texas to create an economic environment that attracts jobs and allows employers to risk their capital and receive a good return

Each of these jobs represents a livelihood for a Texan and their family, and helps strengthen the state’s economy.

The jobs are just projected jobs

Our contention is that they weren’t created and may never be created.

They didn’t want us to know what the actual number of jobs created was

Cinderella story

MK Business News

In some regions, some companies spill that they’re actually better off spending money on lobbyists to cozy up to politicians than hiring a research scientist, because the return on their investment would be greater

Crony capitalism won’t produce growth, and it won’t produce prosperity

Crony capitalism favors the big guys at the expense of the little guys

When cronyism thrives in any country, innovation, prosperity and freedom suffers because small innovative firms get shoved to the outside

an economic system that favors the politically connected

because it gives them the opportunity to pick the economic winners and losers in our system. In other words, it gives them ultimate economic power.

What is perplexing and ironic, though, is that while the world around us is moving aggressively towards empowering individuals, the government seems to be going the opposite direction

It used to be assumed that global recovery would all hinge on consumer demand coming from the US

The rise of middle class in China and rising prosperity in India and their demand for consumer goods will drive global recovery, and the world will not look solely at the US

Competition is a venue to make all of us work harder and be more efficient and productive.

pick our battles

I want to see U.S.’s military, our national security strengthen so I want make sure we have no debt but we have enough money to spend on national security measures in order to help create a more peaceful prosperous world

Our strength has everything to do with our ability to fund a strong military in order to be there–not nation-building but to be there outside our own borders in order to secure freedoms for others, protect their freedoms.

Bloomberg

I’m not one to share that opinion that growing the military might of China in this region will necessarily be good for the region or good for the cause of peace overall.

I would not be one to encourage the muscling of China’s military might in order to protect some of the interests in this region. We’re very thankful for America’s influence, I hope others are also, and Amercia’s commitment to help protect freedom in this region

I carry around my iPad, I keep up with what’s going on all around the world. I don’t have to rely on one news source. I am able to check all sorts of news sources everywhere.

The ability for governments, then, around the world to keep controlling access to information in order to control their people is thankfully becoming more difficult because of this new technology.

Technology is taking power away from central authorities and providing individuals more choices.

What is perplexing, though, and ironic is while the world around us is moving aggressively towards empowering individuals, it’s government that seems to be going in the opposite direction.

The world around is becoming more bottom up, but the political elite, they want the world to become even more top down in some respects, because they want greater control.

Never mind that they were the ones in charge with regarding to this financial mess in the first place.

The problem is those in power are all too often not aware of their own limitations. They fail to see the unintended consequences of their actions.

Fortunately, there are solutions, there is real hope. You can trust freedom, not centralized government. You can trust individuals, not bureaucracies.

Parts of Asia, especially in South Korea, the fundamentals are strong here, because of adoption of democratic principles and of free market principles.

The rise of the middle class in numbers in China and rising prosperity in places like India, the demand there for consumer goods, I think, will certainly help drive the global recovery, and the world is not going to look solely at the U.S and our desire and need for goods to contribute to that recovery.

I support what is being debated right now in Washington, D.C., with the FTA with South Korea because we are natural trading partners from automobiles to agricultural products.

What government can do is to open the gate and then get out of the way and let the people trade, let the markets dictate what should be traded and much of the terms, and I do look forward to seeing that outcome from the U.S. and Korea free- trade agreement.

The first victims of his regime are his own people. That is so inherently unfair and unjust that I look forward to this entire regime being able to be rebuilt, South Korea being able to assist North Korea when that regime is finally ousted.

I want to make sure that we have no debt, but that we have enough money to spend on national security measures in order to help create a more peaceful and prosperous world for all of you, not just the U.S.
