A reader just wrote and asked me why “no one is calling Governor Perry out on the fact that accepted 97% of the stimulus. How can he stand at these TEA Parties and rail against Washington spending with a straight face?” The reader brings up an excellent question: Why isn't anyone calling Perry out for this?
Harvey Kronberg wrote about how he accepted 97% back in March when Perry turned down the unemployment money ($555 million), but no reporters seem to have written about the irony of Perry flying around the state today to attend all of these parties http://www.news8austin.com/content/commentary/on_the_agenda/?ArID=235037&SecID=76.
In all, Perry accepted $17 billion in federal funds from the stimulus package (97% of what Texas was eligible to receive)! I wonder how much tea that could buy?
