Almost, but Rick has to speak to the Senate problem.

"This administration in Washington that's in power now clearly believes that government is not only the answer to every need, but it's the most qualified to make the most central decisions for every American in every area," Perry said. He called Obama's approach to the economy "an affront to every freedom-loving American and a threat to every private sector job in this country."National Journal

Rick Perry speaking to Republicans from the welfare state of Louisiana, garnering an extra $.78 for each federal tax dollar. Gov Perry is from a state that gets 1/4 of a Senator, compared to the welfare states. Texas pays a 6 cent premium as of 2005. So when Rick proposes the traditional Republican populist program, more debt and more Red State welfare; citizens who elected him in Texas will be face higher debt service costs.

Big states produce presidents because it is one of only two fair votes we get, that and Congressional. My advice to Texas citizens, this time send in a president who will force default and restructuring. The only way to insure Red State Welfare is via regional governments, the formation of which produces safe assets.
