Dolt, Time to start your education, with an article from a Republican publication: tnr.com AMERICA'S FISCAL FUTURE: TEXAS. Deja W. by Jason Zengerle Post date 03.22.01 \| Issue date 04.02.01 Chris Harris may not be a household name. But in the halls of the Texas capitol he cuts a large figure. After 16 years in the legislature, the 52-year-old Republican state senator, who currently serves as the Senate's president pro tempore and vice chairman of the powerful Finance Committee, is one of Austin's "gray heads." And with his staunch conservative voting record--he's been likened to Attila the Hun--Harris is also one of the Texas GOP's favorite politicians. As then-Governor George W. Bush put it in 1996, "We can't afford not to have Chris Harris in the Senate." So what does Harris think of his old ally's $1.6 trillion tax cut proposal currently before Congress? He won't say. But you can more or less guess from his recent statements about Texas's budget mess--which is as bad as it has been in a decade.
