He refused to raise taxes when Texas faced a record $10 billion budget shortfall in 2003. Instead, he was the first Texas governor since World War II to sign a budget that lowered state spending (and has now done it twice). As governor, Perry has used his line item veto to cut over $3 billion in proposed spending. He led the battle to pass the country’s most sweeping lawsuit reforms, closing the door on junk lawsuits that had been making trial lawyers rich while driving countless doctors either out of the state or the profession all together. Since Texas voters approved these reforms, malpractice claims and premiums have fallen and access to healthcare is increasing across the state as doctors have applied in droves to practice in Texas. PERRY FUCKED THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION SEVEN WAYS TO SUNDAY AFTER THEY ENDORSED SANCHEZ IN 2002. TORT REFORM WAS NOT HIS BABY. IT WAS BEGUN BY BUSINESS, AGRICULTURE AND MEDICAL INTERESTS IN 1987, WHILE PERRY WAS STILL A DEMOCRAT.Perry has been a fucking bully since Day 1, and a vindictive prick who has pulled the same kind of shit with numerous organizations that he did with the Travis Co. DAs office. However most of them were forced to bend over and take it up the ass.
In 2005, Perry signed a historic $15.7 billion property tax cut for homeowners and businesses that also included new taxpayer protections against appraisal increases. In 2009, Gov. Perry secured a tax cut for approximately 40,000 small businesses in Texas and protected the Rainy Day Fund for future challenges.
-from his campaign literature[B] OF COURSE IT'S FROM HIS CAMPAIGN LITERATURE. HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO WOULD TAKE CREDIT FOR SLASHING SCHOOL BUDGETS, PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS AND HEALTH CARE UNDER THE GUISE OF "PROTECTING THE RAINY DAY FUND." [/B]
I think a lot of jobs have also been created during his tenure, and the rainy day fund is way up, thanks to his effective regulation of the oil and gas industry, which is a game changer for America. Shale oil production needs to be effectively regulated and not snuffed out, like the liberals want to do. Other states have shale oil but aren't getting it out of the ground safely or with reasonable environmental controls.
