Texas Economy

Lots of stuff out there bashing TX these days...cause Perry is running for President.

Look, demographics always tell the story - what is the inflow versus outgo of Texas over the next 10 years?   Answer that and you will have all you need to know to point out Texas will outpace the nation economically in the next decade and more. 

I will provide a few links for you I forgot what I used in the post you refer too.  I do fid it admazing how the people who do not live here think they are experts on what is going on here.

I think the third one is the one you are referring to you may find http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobs/job.html to be a good site when I worked for the Texas Workforce commission we had a lot of good data there you will just need to dig for it.

I hope this helps

Cool, thanks!!!!

It's only going to get worse....

Of course it is.  Football season is starting and OU is over rated again. 

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Being an OU fan, I actually agree with your fix. 

My mom's side of the family is from OK. Listening to my uncle talk about the sooners being ranked #1 is going to be the worst part of football starting again.

Its amazing to me that the President (and big media) will use "bash Texas" as a campaign strategy and even more amazing to me if the average citizen falls for it.

I think this is the blog you're looking for: http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2011/08/job-creation

But I'm loving how anything that questions the storyline that the Texas economy is anything other than the crowing glory and pinnacle of modern economics and job creation is just left wing media lies and Texas bashing and anything that backs up the strength of the texas economy and job creation is the right wing cherry picking stats and spin.  Makes me smile.

Why?  The average citizen usually buys into one of the two brands of BS curently available.

 Nobody but the Republicans and Fox news that is.  

This was the article I posted to you in the forum on the subject, I think.......    kinda funny.  thanks though.

I like it.  The 'two wrongs make a right' theory of news gathering

I choose to believe that your post is supportive of my claims.

 I got a simple idea! please pick the one that applies to you!

 1. If your job is relocating to Texas come on down! you are welcome here! the pay may be below the national average, but so is the cost of living, our economy is growing and we just discovered what may well be the largest oil find in the Nation EVER!

2. If you do not have a job stay out!! our economy sucks and you will only find disappointment and despair. You are far better off staying in your home state until the experts correct all the wrongs that have afflicted you.   Trust me you do not want to come down here, our schools suck, pay sucks, and all the land is polluted from the greedy oil companies that have despoiled our natural beauty.

You can not go wrong, and most importently! Texas can not go wrong if you choose honestly.
