nation. still, texas has created more than it's lost, and texas has added a net 75,000 jobs since 2008. where did those jobs come from? the private sector in texas shed o 40,000 jobs, but the government added 115,000. presto, net job creation. federal government jobs increased 7%. those might be military jobs or nasa jobs in texas. state government jobs increased 8.4% and local government jobs increased another 6%. so it's true, jobs were created in texas, but not through the formula rick perry is pushing. lower taxes did not lead to net job creation in texas. cutting spending did not lead to net job creation in texas. less regulation did not lead to net job creation in texas. what did lead to net job creation in texas, government hiring. remember back in february 2009 when president obama signed the recovery act and how on tax day that year, governor perry made a big show of railing against the stimulus, even saying that texas might want to secede from the union at a tea party rally in austin. no, it turns out texas has ultimately accepted about $17 billion in stimulus dollars. including money funding projects this year, so perhaps mr. no relation per

[cheers and applause] maybe it was because i fought for welfare reform and the only one on this stage the other night that actually authored a bill, managed it on the floor of the senate, got bipartisan support, which got a democratic president to sign it, ending an entitlement, and is transformed society. [cheers and applause] maybe it is because i am someone who says to the people of
