Economy Plan

In summary, Perry believes that Texas' incentive funds, which are designed to lure businesses to the state, are an important tool in maintaining the state's competitive edge. However, there are some criticisms of the funds, and Texas' unemployment rate is not stellar.

Not at all. That's part of my point. A lot of times, a politician will make the argument: "We are one of the strongest economies, therefore there is no reason why we cannot enact (insert various regulatory, tax, and spending proposals that said politician has in mind)." The long-term effect of doing that, oftentimes, is to begin sinking the state or country economically, this is what happened to California. So far, Texas has remained smart enough to not start doing this (although they probably will given enough time).

When the economy is strong - these things aren't as noticeable - are they - maybe we're too busy to notice? However, when the economy is weak - we start questioning every detail and try to determine the cause of our problems.
