Texas Governor Rick Perry (Rick Perry) had refused to grant the federal budget for unemployment benefits, reported Associated Press. Texas for this purpose due to 555 million dollars under a multi-federal plan to stimulate the economy.
In total, for the Texas plan is approximately 17 billion dollars, and most of that amount, Perry, an active critic of the economic policy of Barack Obama, agreed to accept. The Governor explained why could not accept money for unemployment benefits: Federal plan includes the requirement to change the concept of unemployment, and this would lead to an increase in the tax burden on state employers.
"In these difficult times, employers of Texas made an unprecedented effort to promote their products on the market, to pay wages and create jobs. The last thing they need for the Government to overlay them with higher taxes and expanded commitments," - said Perry, who in 2000 succeeded in the Texas Governor George W. Bush.
