Hutchison attacks Perry for turning down stimulus funds that she voted against.

“Governor Perry recklessly turned down the federal unemployment insurance money,” Hutchison said. “He never even looked at cutting the ridiculous federal strings attached to that money like I would have done. He didn’t even attempt to negotiate a way to relieve employers from a tax increase while helping Texans affected by the economic downturn.

“But now, because of a purely political decision to turn down UI funding, Texas has to go into debt and beg the federal government for a $650 million loan,” she said. “And like all loans, this one has to be paid back. And who will pay it back? Texas businesses and hard-working taxpayers already facing enormous hardships.

“It’s not conservative. It’s irresponsible.”

Hypocrisy meets stupidity!

9. There is a difference between a senator & governor saying no on this

When a senator says no to the stimulus plan they were voting to kill it before it even got out of the gate.

When a governor says no to the stimulus plan that already passed he's just being an idiot by passing up free federal dollars, which the state and their tax payers will have to pay back anyway as part of the national debt, regardless of if they took the money or not.

So yes, there is a difference, and yes what Perry is doing is worse for Texas then what Hutchison did.
