What is the purpose of the Texas Enterprise Fund?
Well, I think we all remember back in 2003 Texas was pretty hard up. With unemployment figures skyrocketing as high as 6%, we knew that something needed to be done – something drastic. Governor Rick Perry pulled a plan from so far up his ass that it could only rescue Texas from this dire recession or make the governor regular for the rest of his life. You all remember the recession, right? Oh gosh it was horrible! I don’t like to admit this in public, but once in 2003 things got so bad I was forced to eat macaroni! Can you imagine that – macaroni? Anyway: Governor Rick Perry asked congress for a large sum of money to give to corporations if they would move to Texas and make jobs! Isn’t that neat? They move here, we maybe dangle a little carrot in front of them and BAMO everybody’s got at least one job!
