The Texas Miracle

The number of minimum-wage workers in Texas has surged since the recession. Last year, 550,000 Texans were paid the minimum wage or less, up from 173,000 in 2006, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In addition, 1 in 4 Texas residents has no health insurance, the highest rate in the country. Perry has done little to address that problem.

$27 billion dollar budget deficit (two years)
