Perry wants us to pay for his stunt

Remember the incessant calls from John Boehner about how "we're broke"?

“Let’s be honest. We’re broke. The plan we offered is consistent with the president’s call for a balanced approach,” said the Ohio Republican. “We’re still waiting for the White House” to do the same.” “Longer the White House slow walks this process, the closer we are” to going over the fiscal cliff, Boehner said.

Apparently, that was so last week, because now presidential hopeful and serial dork Rick Perry wants to mobilize 1,000 national guardsmen to to stand around doing nothing on the Texas border in the chance they run into a small child in need of shelter...so they can send him back. And he wants you and me to pay for it.

"Texans are willing to put boots on the ground, but we expect Washington to foot the bill," he said. Abbott expects the federal government to do the "right thing," and doesn't anticipate any litigation.

Fiscal conservatism at its finest. With a dash of xenophobic immigrant bashing on side, of course.
