Crooks, you have it all wrong. Do not join street gangs or take an oath to be in the Mafia but go learn your trade at the Madoff/Stanford school of business. The professors are fron AIG and they are more and willing to lecture you how to become the biggest thieves plus having the government pay you to do it.

Too bad Gotti, Capone or Dillinger never got a chance to go to this university.

Just to think our Texas gov rather support these yahoos then give hard working families a hand. 10K a month rent bailout

My vote for the next governor for Texas is the Houston madam. Maybe the most honest and organized business in Texas this year

The Texas Constitution provides for a weak governor type of government. If Tex Dav can articulate what Perry did that made our economy good I'd be impressed.

While many states suffered, Texas which has vast oil and natural gas reserves prospered. It had nothing to do with politics. People came for jobs created by this industry which included construction.

Now with oil and gas down quite a bit we are seeing softening in the real estate markets. Luckily we did not have so many sub prime loans and our values did not rise as rapidly and crazily as places like Cal and Vegas so they have not near as far to fall.

As for the University of Texas, you aren't going to blame them for some students who went bad- its a huge factory and produces more students than any college in the state. Its a pretty good school - its not on the level of Berkeley or Michigan by any means, but one can get a good education there.
