In Texas, Perry Rides an Energy Boom - NYTimes.com


In Texas, Perry Rides an Energy Boom - NYTimes.com: "Texas is home to at least one-third of the jobs created nationwide since the recession ended. The state’s economy is growing about three times as fast as the national rate. Home prices have remained stable even as much of the country has seen sharp declines.

Is Texas just lucky, or has the state benefited from exceptional leadership? As Gov. Rick Perry campaigned Monday in Iowa for the Republican presidential nomination — with the economy dominating the national political landscape — the answer to that question is central to his candidacy."
