PERRY ON BERNANKE: ‘I DUNNO WHAT Y’ALL WOULD DO TO HIM IN IOWA BUT WE WOULD TREAT HIM PRETTY UGLY DOWN IN TEXAS’

There may be some merit in Governor Rick Perry’s premise that printing more money now, may cause some problems.  However, the larger issue from his statement begs for answers.

I wonder what Perry was talking  about when he said: “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno what y’all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas.

Was he referring to the unusually high rate of capital punishment?  By an off-chance, could he be referring to Texas’ history of violence such as lynching and dragging people chained to a pick-up to their death?

I’d sure like the Governor to expound on his statement…

Think Progress

Texas Governor Rick Perry, who entered the presidential campaign on Saturday, appeared to suggest a violent response would be warranted should Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke “print more money” between now and the election.

Speaking just now in Iowa, Perry said, “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno what y’all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas.

Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treasonous in my opinion.” Treason is a capital offense.
