At this point, we don't really know who will be the GOP nominee. My guess is that it will be Romney or Perry but that's only a guess in the summer of 2011.
Frankly, I am not even sure that Pres BO will be the Dem nominee. In other words, I'm now 50-50 that he will seek reelection.
The political landscape is getting worse and worse for Pres BO and Dems know it! (President Obama’s disengaged style has evoked bad memories for some liberals)
Let me say it again: Don't be surprised if the Dem nominee in 2012 is not Obama!
Nevertheless, we will debate big ideas in 2012: Texas vs California or Texas vs Illinois!
Today, we learned that Illinois is a "jobs disaster":
"In a trend that continues to worsen, more Illinoisans found themselves unemployed in the month of July.
Illinois lost more jobs during the month of July than any other state in the nation, according to the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report.
Illinois lost more jobs during the month of July than any other state in the nation, according to the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report.
After losing 7,200 jobs in June, Illinois lost an additional 24,900 non-farm payroll jobs in July.
The report also said Illinois’s unemployment rate climbed to 9.5 percent. This marks the third consecutive month of increases in the unemployment rate.
Illinois started to create jobs as the national economy began to recover.
Illinois started to create jobs as the national economy began to recover.
But just when Illinois’s economy seemed to be turning around, lawmakers passed record tax increases in January of this year.
Since then, Illinois’s employment numbers have done nothing but decline."
Make sure that you go back and read that tax increase line again!
It never fails: The left raises taxes and job creators move to Texas!
What's all of this talk about a Texas "jobs miracle"?
Frankly, it is not a miracle. Instead, it is the very logical consequence of policies that understand how jobs are created.
Again, it is not a miracle. It is simple common sense.
If you punish job creators, such as Obama's Illinois or the left's paradise of California, then you will drive them away to Texas.
If you reward job creators, keep taxes low, have a serious regulatory environment, and control excessive litigation then you will create jobs. Check out our Wednesday night commentary:
