RECOVERY.GOV


Obama preached transparency when he campaigned and he is using every available technology to achieve this promise. After my recent visit to the Midwest I saw the following sign over and over again. I couldn't help but think I have not seen ANY of these signs in Texas? Maybe Rick Perry is holding true to his claim not to take any Stimulus Money? We all know this isn't even remotely true.

Transparency causes one's rhetoric to match their record. This poses a problem for Governor Perry. Transparency illustrates via Recovery.gov the Stimulus spending by State.
Not only has Texas spent some of the Stimulus Money, but we have actually spent $3.5B of it. More than any other state except for California.

Instead of talking about being in a DEPRESSION we are discussing coming out of a recession.
