If you are one of the out of state businesses Rick Perry is inviting to move to Texas, be sure to bring good tires. The Texas Tribune reports that our state is shifting more and more to gravel roads as a cost cutting measure. One of the reasons the Texas economy seemed to be doing so well is that we are selling our public sector to hide the devastation of Republican economic policies. So if you have a business that would benefit from the freedom from worker safety regulations, if you long for the liberty to dump poisons into the environment, if you have a business that will not require a middle class consumer and you don’t mind crappy roads, Texas is the perfect place for you.
