    Texas begins 2018 with record low unemployment. I believe it will fall even lower during 2018. That means more jobs for Texans seeking them. #txlege #Jobs #economypic.twitter.com/Jli4IW1mj1

        More LOW PAYING JOBS because Perry and Abbott sold us all out to big corporations. "Move your company to Texas! You can get employees here DIRT CHEAP."

        Texas is blessed with a strong leader for a governor and this year he will be reelected in a massive Texas sized landslide.

        Largely those numbers are due to hurricane Harvey. Large scale destruction has created large scale construction. But you already know that don't ya, Greg?

        Sure would be nice if you and the legislature supported educators and their retirement as much as you support businesses. Just think if you took care of those who helps prepare our workforce, maybe we would have even better results.

        Please don’t bring up unpleasant realities. Abbott’s ego is fragile. For him it is easier to blame things on immigrants, than to address education, teacher’s pay, opportunities, corporate welfare.

        Then let's talk about our H1B visa's, last I read, we, TX, were the leaders in using them, and I saw it in my company. Forced out every vet, hired H1B's to easily control them. I tech supported deportees that were in India with US equipment and we are a Homeland designated Co.

        One thing is for sure. China, Europe, Canada, Russia and Mexico don’t want the Trump tax cuts to pass. http://thehill.com/opinion/finance/365502-there-are-zero-excuses-to-stand-against-the-trump-tax-cuts … http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2017/05/02/why-china-fears-trump-tax-cuts.html … Just read what other nations are saying, if you still disagree, then you disagree, I am not going to throw shade at you for it.

        I get your point, but using Fox business, and the hill as reference points doesn’t hold much credibility. IMO. China has already offered lower tax rates to keep manufacturing right where it is. Add the labor cost differences, and I don’t think those companies are coming back.
