More foxes in charge of henhouses.... Perry for Energy Department

[Donal]

The state Perry was once governor of is currently in a financial down turn because they were too invested in oil, which is currently falling due to the free market. Even if fracking brings more jobs like some hope, they won't be as well paying as the ones that are disappearing. Just sayin'.

The man who forgot that the Energy Department was one of the ones he wanted to do away with will now be in charge of same....

The trend continues.

I really do not know if Rick Perry would be a good Secretary of the Department of Energy or not.

My inclination is that Perry will be awful at the job, however I keep thinking about former President Reagan who promised to eliminate the Department of Energy if he became the president.

But, once Reagan got into office and found out how much the Department of Energy does to produce nuclear weapons and other such stuff, then he soon reneged on that promise and the Department of Energy got bigger than ever.

So did Rick Perry, except he couldn't remember the name of it. Oops!

(In case anyone doesn't remember, I'm not making that up. It actually happened.)
