Rasmussen: Rick Perry now up 11 points on GOP field

No one is disputing that, what is your point? Mine is the country budget funds most of the school expenses, the state money was reduced to the districts but that if necessary could be made up by the District and normally is. You seem to believe that the 4 billion hurt the Districts and there is no evidence of that as Districts all over the state are raising money other ways.

And how do the districts make it up? They borrow or raise taxes and fees. This is another reason that balanced budget provisions are deceptive. The state doesn't borrow or raise taxes (well it does, but....) but it cuts funds to local government who have to borrow and/or raise taxes to make up the difference. The net effect is the same.

They either ask for a tax increase or cut spending, how do you make up a shortfall in your budget? Interesting how you continue to try to defend the current govt. spending at all levels. Are you sending in a bigger contribution to the govt. to help them out of the revenue problem you seem to believe they have?

Ahh, so they tax more? And you're for tax increases? Interesting.

Now, show that's what they did and that they got the tax increase.

Not a problem in TX as the population growth is taking care of the rising tax revenue, but thanks for the concern

Sure, that's why Perry used over $6 BILLION in stimulus money to plug his budget gap.
Yeah, that's the same stimulus money that didn't do anything or save any jobs. :roll:

Keep posting the same thing over and over again and even you will begin believing it. What did that 6 billion cover? At least be honest for a change

You're changing the subject again. Please, link something that supports your claim. Show that you actually made it up through some taxes. With the newly employed, you had a short fall. That's a fact. You state made cuts to spending. You say you made it up with some sort of tax or levey. Support that, please.

I believe he's off chasing a squirrel. ;)

Of course not because I know that Federal Mandates have to be funded by Federal Tax dollars per the law signed by Bill Clinton in the 90's. medicaid and unemployment benefit expansion forced by the Federal govt. who should pay those charges in your world?

Okay, so you accept that Perry closed his budget gap with over $6 BILLION in stimulus funds, which he claims served no purpose and didn't save any jobs. Nuff said.

We have an increase in the labor force thus an increase in total tax revenue, you deny that fact? A drop in jobs doesn't mean a drop in total tax revenue for the state. Interesting that you have such concerns about a state that is making Obama's numbers look better. I would have expected at least a thank you

I assume that you don't know that a state shortfall includes federal mandates nor do you probably know what a federal mandate is.

[h=1]Federal education aid finally starts flowing in Texas[/h]

School districts throughout Texas got some surprising news Monday: $831 million of federal aid tied up for months in a high-profile battle between Gov. Rick Perry and Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Austin is now available to retain and hire teachers.
Bexar County districts stand to get $56.6 million, a shot in the arm after most of them recently eliminated hundreds of teaching positions and several laid off teachers.
Local districts' officials expected the federal funds to remain frozen, presuming that legislators might use the $831 million to plug holes in the state budget. Under the House draft version, money for schools statewide could be cut by as much as $11 billion.

Again, you had that and still had the shortfall. Can you explain that?

I've asked you to support your claim. Now can you or not?

Wow, imagine that TX taxpayer dollars being sent back to TX. When you talk about the Federal Govt. coming to the rescue you seem to ignore that means the taxpayer dollars. Thanks so much for your help.

If you want to keep on point, stick to the thread topic and stop dragging people off into the bushes

You moved us this direct, but when cornered, try to sneak away. Just support your claim. That's all.

No thank you, I see no reason to continue the education discussion with someone from Iowa that has no clue about what is going on in TX. The fact remains which you want to ignore TX balanced its budget without raising taxes and TX is a right to work state thus TX has to be destroyed by liberals like you. good luck with that as you support an empty suit, incompetent in the WH

Iowa out ranks us in education metrics.
