I am sure healthcare will be run the same way.

Apparently you didn't read this complete Dallas News article the day before instead of a summary quoting the reporter:

"By the end of November, the most recent data available, the state had weatherized only seven homes through the stimulus program. Five were done by the Sherman-based Texoma Council of Governments and two by Tri-County Community Action in Center, Texas."

"I didn't expect tens of thousands, but seven is shocking," said Randy Chapman, executive director of the Texas Legal Services Center, one of several groups monitoring stimulus spending in Texas.

Boston acknowledged that federal officials "aren't excited about where we are today, and neither are we."

My point is, neither did you before you posted the Faux hit piece on the other thread.

State Government of Texas Appears Incompetent

The word's not getting out fast enough. 1,000 people a day are moving there. Also, we have the highest death rate of seniors with red labradors or some such shit. Spread the word

I am sure healthcare will be run the same way.

.....then why are the Repubs defending Medicare ??.....and the VA health programs ??.....

.....those big government run healthcare programs ....

......because we are better off with them, than without them.......

.....twenty years from now, the Repubs will be defending this bill, when a new Dem congress tries to update it........

I am sure healthcare will be run the same way.

Only if run by the state of Texas.

then why are the Repubs defending Medicare ??.....and the VA health programs ??

Because they know they work well, they are just opposing anything that Obama is proposing.... the party of no.

If Bushling had proposed the package, they would have all fallen in line like good little Bushbots.

Seems you and republicans have a lot in common then?

Thanks to Bush & Cheney, these assholes already looted so much money from the US Treasury, they don't need it.

So send it back.

"Texas Sits On Millions in Stimulus Money"

Then I'm going to sit in Texas.

That ain't all the $$$$ there sitting on. Look up the CAFR for Texas. Or, go to www.CAFR1.com for more info.

You'll get a kick out of the linked article below I just stumbled upon. The author declares Texas to be its own country separate and apart from the USA.

CALIFCHRIS

This is where I was pointing to.....

BobinSpokane -

Re your #14

I know CAFR is the state's financial report. I googled it as soon as I read your #12. The link I put in my #13 was just simply as a joke for you to get a laugh as I came across it looking at CAFR websites on Google.

I know Texas has a lot of extra money for its residents and I know there is no state income tax. But it looks like Texans can get hit hard in the wallet with the Ad Valorum taxes on their real estate property to pay for the schools every year and isn't it correct TX also allows reassessment of real property every year? (I may be wrong as I was reading before a lot of info on TX property tax laws and how they differ from California's.)

I don't plan on buying a house for the first six months should I move to Texas as I want to make sure I like living there. Besides, I need to take a breather after all the crap I'm dealing with now selling this house here in CA. But even TX apt. renters get hit with increases if the apt. building owner has to pay increased property taxes on his building. Still, the apt. rents in TX are a lot cheaper than here in Los Angeles.

Chickenshit, your 2 cents is rapidly depriciating. It's a simple matter of supply and demand. The retort is saturated with your spam, but there is no interest in it.

Perhaps you should take your "goods" elsewhere.

Then I'm going to sit in Texas.

Well, good for Texas! surprised they got any of the money considering the state is hated by the left!

Texas should use the remaining money to buy guns for its residents.

That is soooooo Republican of them..... sit on the money, enrich their cronies, don't spend it as intended then claim the stimulus "failed".

Politics as usual in red states.

oh yeah, the blue states like california manage the money sooooo much better huh???

I find it much more intertesting how the money is distributed?

seems as though a states un-employment rate has nothing to do with how much money they get?

hmmmm... just seems as though they pass it out to whoever they want, no real system to it??

hmmm... I wonder if votes have something to do with it???

or maybe kickbacks?

you watch and see... right before the elections next year the states that the dems need help in will all of a sudden get a bunch of stimulus money???

well shit fellers........I guess that we just dont know what the shit to do with all that their money agteralls....

(suckers)

oh yeah, the blue states like california manage the money sooooo much better huh???

Righties are all about SMALLER government. . . .

"Texas Sits On Millions in Stimulus Money"

So, isn't the Federal government setting on billions?

no I think the federal government is printing billions? oh well doesn't matter I guess...

obama is the savior and i'm sure this is all just some kind of funny joke on us... I keep waiting for the punch line, but it never comes?

#36 'Righties are all about SMALLER government. . . . '

Conservatives are for smaller government. Smaller government means less taxes TAKEN from the taxpayer.

But the true response to your utter lack of apparant understanding about how 435 people are placed as representatives of WE the People is truly befuddling to me. You do know that the districts get redone every election, right? I mean, Hello, How do you think the number of representatives change for each state (more or less) every year? Yet only the total number of representatives in the lower house remains the same.

You do know that the districts get redone every election, right? I mean, Hello

Isn't it every ten years,that's why we have the census,read the constitution

And when we gave all this money to the states we expected that it would get spent properly. Way to go Obama!! Entitlement...spending...what a concept

"And when we gave all this money to the states we expected that it would get spent properly"

No, I think allot of us expected it to be wasted and pissed away. Really sucks that the American people seem to have no control over what the govt does....

Thank you for the 5th grade AM.GOV. lesson, I hope you feel a bit more retarded having given it.

Conservatives cheering that the government is growing is an ironic thing, wouldn't you agree? Sorry, I'll do what I can to not point such things out when I see them, although I can tell you got off on using the word "befuddling." I bet you're the smartest motherfucker in the whole trailer park.

oh please, he wasnt talking about expanding govt... stop making shit up and read the post...

he was saying that Texas is growing so much that we will have more representation. that's not an expansion of govt cause the only way we get more seats is if someone else loses seats dipshit...

Texas is a conservative state, not a liberal state. Results speak volumes escpecially when comparing its current position compared with another large state, California. Texas has a budget surplus, whereas CA is on the verge of bankruptcy due to its liberal policies. There is huge growth in Texas, where people in great numbers are leaving CA. I don't think the current administration is evil, but they are without a doubt incompetent. They don't have any idea what they are doing. Kudos for Texas for sitting on the $. They don't need it anyway. Plus, its like using a convenice check (read the fine print). God bless Texas.

God bless Texas.

Amen, cuz....

I'll drink to that.

Amen X 2!!! I wasn't born in Texas but got here as fast as I could!!!

Are you seriously trying to compare housing costs and real estate taxes in Texas to California???
