impact that number. The weight of the load, the speed of the truck, how old or
new the truck is, the condition of the wheels and tires, how many hills and the
grades of the steep hills. How many times it starts and stops. Also, some truck
drivers leave their trucks running during the night because they sleep in them

only getting about 1-3 mpg on a good day. But that is just my guess. I

Subject: [Vision2020] Wen <SPAN id=misspell-54 class=mark>Jiabo</SPAN> for
President? Rick Perry's Job Growth<BR>> Deception<BR>> Message-ID:
<20110930184709.902KF.92090.root@hrndva-web04-z01><BR>> Content-Type:
text/plain; <SPAN id=misspell-55 class=mark>charset</SPAN>="<SPAN
id=misspell-56 class=mark>utf</SPAN>-8"<BR>> <BR>> Hail to the
Vision!<BR>> <BR>> I've been meaning to post this column for some time.
I plan to write a least a half dozen columns on Perry, and you can get a
preview of the topics by reading the full version attached.<BR>> <BR>>
Paul: Here is a partial answer to your question--an already damaged GOP front
runner.<BR>> <BR>> We are sunk if Obama us bit re-elected.<BR>>
<BR>> <SPAN id=misspell-57 class=mark>NFG</SPAN> (guess what my pear
picking boss made of these initials?)<BR>> <BR>> WEN <SPAN
id=misspell-58 class=mark>JIABAO</SPAN> FOR PRESIDENT: RICK PERRY?S JOB GROWTH
DECEPTION <BR>> <BR>> Since the end of World War II Democratic
administrations have created 55.7 million jobs, while their GOP counterparts
have produced only 36.2 million. As a percentage of GDP, Donkeys have presided
over an average annual drop in the national debt of percent, while the
Elephants have run up the debt by an average 5 percent. Under the former the
economy has grown 3.6 percent while under the latter it has moved up only 2.8
percent.<BR>> <BR>> The reward for such incredible achievements should
be to skip elections and declare a universal mandate for Democrats to rule the
nation, right? There is a standard answer to such bluster: there are many
factors?world economy, business cycles, and policies of previous
administrations?over which no Congress or president has any control. <BR>>
<BR>> Why then can Gov. Rick Perry claim that he should be president
because, under his three terms, Texas has experienced more job growth than any
other state?<BR>> <BR>> The four states that have created the most jobs
?New York, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, and Texas?have one major thing in
common: a natural gas bonanza. Perry has been governor during a period of the
highest oil prices in history and he is enjoying the increased revenue that
comes from a resource for which he was not at all responsible. Now at $168
billion, oil and gas revenues have grown from 7.4 percent of the state?s
economy in 1999 to 15.7 percent in 2006. <BR>> <BR>> A chief executive
should boast about job creation only when most of the people looking are able
to be employed. Half the nation?s states have unemployment rates lower than
Texas at 8.4 percent?the highest in 24 years. In 2009 the rate was 7.7 percent
and it went from 8.2 to 8.4 percent in July. It has been above 8 percent for
23 months. The Fiscal Times (8/12/11) reports that Texas lost 34,000 jobs in
June alone, and during the Great Recession it lost 227,000 construction and
manufacturing jobs.<BR>> <BR>> The key to Lone Star raw job growth is a
huge increase in the labor force. If raw numbers were the only measure, and
population and job losses are ignored, then the GOP should nominate Chinese
Premier Wen <SPAN id=misspell-59 class=mark>Jiabao</SPAN> for president. With
tens of millions of jobs created, Premier Wen could also top Gov. Perry?s
safety and environmental violations. Perry could counter that he executes
almost as many people per <SPAN id=misspell-60 class=mark>capita</SPAN> as
China does. In 2009 Texas executed one criminal per million while China hung
1.2 per million. <BR>> <BR>> Using on 2009-2011 data, researchers from
the Center for American Progress calculated net change in jobs minus net
change in labor force, and found that Red State Texas actually ranks last and
Blue States Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania were the top three. New
York?s increase of 98,000 jobs and Pennsylvania?s 92,000 are significant
because both states have experienced slow increases in population. The 12 of
the 20 states that created jobs voted for Obama in 2008.<BR>> <BR>>
Texas leads the nation in the number of hourly-wage jobs that pay at or below
the minimum wage. In 2010 the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Texas
added 211,000 positions, but 76,000 of those were at or below $7.25/hour.
Since 2008 the number of these non-living wage jobs has doubled. <BR>>
<BR>> Perry claims that he has a model that will turn the American economy
around, but a policy that has been successful in luring companies to one state
alone obviously cannot work nation-wide. Economist Paul <SPAN id=misspell-61
class=mark>Krugman</SPAN> plays logician: ?<SPAN id=misspell-62
class=mark>Perrynomics</SPAN> involves the fallacy of composition: every state
can?t lure jobs from every other state.?<BR>> <BR>> The New York Times
aptly illustrated the style of Perry?s Texan economic model when it ran an
article about a company with an abysmal safety record. Complaining about OSHA
rules, its management bragged that it would set up shop only in the Third
World or Texas. <BR>> <BR>> Corporations have been flocking to Texas
because of low wages and low taxes, just as they did in Ireland when the
government lowered the corporate tax to 12.5 percent. The Irish government
also reduced regulation on its banks, and now the economy has crashed after
all the major banks failed. <BR>> <BR>> After taking a big hit in the
Reagan administration created Savings and Loan crisis, Texas made sure that
its mortgage laws were strong enough to prevent <SPAN id=misspell-63
class=mark>subprime</SPAN> predation among its prospective homeowners.<BR>>
<BR>> California?s budget deficit gets all the attention, but in per <SPAN
id=misspell-64 class=mark>capita</SPAN> terms Texas? is far worse. Last year
Texans were in the red $740 per person, while each Californian was down $522.
Because of a failed tax swap engineered by Perry, Lone Star budget deficits
are now structural, which means that without tax increases there will be a $5
billion annual gap between revenue and spending for the indefinite future.
<BR>> <BR>> Governor Perry believes that most government programs?except
perhaps crop subsidies (Farmer Perry always claimed his) and NASA?are
unconstitutional, and he proposes that Medicare, Medicaid, environmental and
labor regulation be run by the states. This is a clear recipe for turning the
entire nation into a Third World nation. In terms labor laws, worker safety,
environmental regulation, health care, and social services the Lone Star State
is already in that position.<BR>> <BR>> Nick <SPAN id=misspell-65
