The Power of Texas

Ever wonder how a government should act if it wants a thriving private-sector with low unemployment and a better than average budget situation over the long-term? Apparently a lot like the State of Texas. Check out this article if you want to know more. While I don't believe that TX is perfect by any means it does seem to be doing better than most. Why?

In a nutshell:

• Low taxes
• Lower average regulatory burdens
• State that works hard to maintain a balanced budget
• Government that generally leaves the private sector to do what it does best - create jobs and grow!
