You know every time Gov. Rick Perry down in Texas screams about how anti-federal government he is, how Tea Party he is, how "No Government Handouts!" he is, how states rights - seccesion he is?

His entire state is held up by federal dollars supporting the fact his state is broke. The federal government is enabling local police, fire, etc to be paid. The stimulus funds saved many a state, in the past two years, from having to lay off workers.
