16. "the economy is great in Oklahoma and Texas"
Whoever said that is dead wrong...last time my part of TX was "great" was with Clinton in office.

Since chimp was appointed (and then frauded his way into office)the DFW area has lost tons of jobs, high tech companies have shut down or outsourced/laid off. Foreclosures are thru the roof---the monthly foreclosure list has mansions on it, service providers are feeling the pinch cuz people no longer can afford lawn people, they are going longer between haircuts/dye jobs, etc.. (per the lady who did my hair a few weeks ago).
Problem is, the red sheep in my county have yet to connect the dots..SIX gas stations within 2 miles of my house have been leveled, boarded up, with one turned into a Greek restaurant that no one is ever at.
Now we have a hospital on every street corner cuz the county that was built on high tech in the 90's has imploded. So the county is now investing it's economy in healthcare...we'll see how long THAT lasts.
