Perry “Retires” to Boost Pension Pay
17th December 2011
Rick Perry has done something his opponents have been hoping he’d do for years: retire. But it’s not what the governor’s detractors had in mind.
Perry officially retired in January so he could start collecting his lucrative pension benefits early, but he still gets to collect his salary — and has in turn dramatically boosted his take-home pay.
Guess he’s given up on running for President. Who’d vote for him now? He’s exposed himself as one of those who are honest only while people are watching, and sometimes not even then.

Oh, but he’s a ‘job creator’, so he’s allowed to do whatever will feather his nest the most. That’s how we best stimulate the economy, you know.
