Sarito Carol Neiman provides some valuable perspective on Rick Perry and his “Texas Miracle.” One gem: a New York Times columnist in 2003 reported that one manufacturer — notorious for its Dickensian record on workers safety — said they’d only do business in “developing countries and Texas.” She follows with a truly scary Texas report card that indeed reads like that of a third world country.
