The Perry Plan: A Good, Long, Low-Hanging Start
Rick Perry released the first part of his economic plan today. It’s a bit long (almost 8400 words, plus a couple dozen graphics) and it makes a couple very large promises, but it’s a serious plan and it deserves attention
SolyndraScam Takes its First Bite of the Administration
