The Texas papers seem embarassed to print this story.

<font color=brown>State sells $1.4 billion in bonds for unemployment fund</font>
kansascity.com

<font color=brown>The unemployment fund faces a $300 million deficit. By law the fund is supposed to have about $750 million, so the gap between the deficit and the fund's legal minimum is about $1 billion.</font>

That's right! this once proud economy, built by the persistent technology recruiting drives of Governor Ann Richards has, thanks to the generous tax breaks handed out by Governor George Bush the Junior to his friend and oil buddy Dick Cheney, cannot even pay for it's own skyrocketing lines of layed off and unemployed citizens.

It brings a tear to my eye, or maybe that is just the result of becoming the most polluted state in the nation. Yes Sir, all this and more can be shared with the United States as a whole if you will just let Junior George and Tom DeLay run your affairs for you. Ready? Now grab your ankles!
