Governor Perry is a distinguished man of principle. Look at him turn down the portion of the federal cash trough that he doesn't agree with.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday rejected $555 million in federal stimulus money that would expand state unemployment benefits, saying the money would have required the state to keep funding the expanded benefits after the stimulus money ran out. Perry, an outspoken critic of President Barack Obama's $787 billion stimulus bill, did accept most of the roughly $17 billion slated for Texas in the plan.
Way to go, dude. Stand up for what you believe in, and turn down that 0.3% of the federal handout so you can grand stand in front of Republicans while pissing off people that were laid off, all at the same time.
