The Perry "Toast"

James Carville is a prominent Democrat contributor for CNN news. His latest opinioned article is titled, “ Why Rick Perry’s Presidential Bid is Toast”. Although, Carville is a Democrat he was actually a fan of Rick Perry and excited upon hearing he would be a GOP candidate. Like many others he viewed Perry as the main opponent to go against Mitt Romney and eventually wipe him out of the race. James came to realize that the former Governor of Texas was not a potential nor valuable candidate for the Presidency. His comments about him were once good but now it is painful for him to view Perry as a candidate. James Carville appears a lot in CNN’s The Situation Room and it has become harder and harder for him to speak about a campaign that lacks worthy candidates. He has stated that Rick Perry “is the worst debater to run for President.”

Rick Perry on Jobs

In the video he says that as President he will create 2.5 million Jobs as he created 1 million in Texas. Eliminate Obamas regulations that hurt other sources of domestic energy like coal and natural gas. He believes that this is what will create jobs instead of relying on other countries for oil such as Saudi Arabia, Venezuela or The OPEC nations. Some say it is a bad energy and job policy as he unfortunately he doesn’t have an answer for energy sources for the future. His message is relying heavily on fossil fuels and is not discussing renewable resources, which is what we should be looking towards. Rick Perry says that his focus is to bring back jobs from China as he did when governor of Texas. His statistics are that 70% of the jobs created last year were within Texas. Perry wants to repeal the current unemployment surtax, which is said to be temporary.


Rick Perry: Cut, Balance and Grow


On Tuesday, October 25th Rick Perry unveiled his economic plan. Its purpose like all others is to fix the economy and create jobs within the nation. The plan involves getting rid of all the current taxes and replacing it with a flat rate tax of 20%. Americans who are content with the current tax system have the option of keeping it that way or choosing his. The simple flat rate, he said would eliminate taxation on savings and investments. When it comes to the economy Perry has stated that people are tired of spending money on programs they do not use or gain anything from. He is right when he expresses that we cannot spend our way to prosperity. Many say that his tax plan is fair and that it does the job of raising revenue and improving economic growth. “…he can't even roll out his stupid flat tax plan. He steps all over it by saying, "Oh by the way, it's optional anyway." He has managed to couple the flat tax with the IRS bureaucracy in one sentence. Way to go Rick”, James Carville stated.

The question is, is Rick Perry’s Presidential Nomination toast? It seems that the majority of people would think so. Because of his lack of authority in debates or interviews, in reality anything he puts forth after cannot be taken seriously. His take on jobs and economic plan are coming from a man who is now being said not worthy for Presidency. Rick Perry just might be toast…..
