Newspapers. The unemployment rate rose in June, the 2009-2010-2011 massive budget shortfalls were balanced with millions of federal stimulus dollars (while Perry decried federal spending and the stimulus), and the 2012-2013 budget is 27 million short, causing slashing in education and going to the emergency fund.

Perry has quite a reputation, but it doesn't seem to hold all that true upon close examination.
