Rick Perry's "Texas Miracle..."

...may not be so miraculous after all. As for all those jobs the nation's longest-serving governor supposedly "created," Paul Krugman points out in his column today (my emphasis):

...almost 10 percent of Texan workers earn the minimum wage or less, well above the national average...

And:

By the way, one in four Texans lacks health insurance, the highest proportion in the nation, thanks largely to the state’s small-government approach. Meanwhile, Massachusetts has near-universal coverage thanks to health reform very similar to the “job-killing” Affordable Care Act.

Is this really what the rest of the nation's Republican governors want for their states? Really?
