Will Texas Gov. Rick Perry Face Another Indictment?

He should.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General has seemed to open up another can of Perry worms in Texas.

The latest audit report finds:
"Texas did not comply with Federal requirements for the use of almost $15 million in Child Care and Development Fund targeted funds for fiscal year 2010"
Other recent reports also found that the rate of child poverty, despite the economy surging in the Lone Star State, is rising at astronomical rates.

Despite Economic Strength Number of Texas Children in Poverty Rising  66% of school age children live in poverty, a 47% increase over the last 10 years.
 The should be interpreted as a state government which places more energy and concern on providing assistance to business to increase revenues that to invest in its future workforce, children.

Not only should one be offended with such state policies but should also be outraged that poverty generates future, cheap labor by depriving families of education, child care, food, shelter and other basic needs that are economically out of reach of the average with children in Texas.

Federal child care funds were diverted to assist in mortgage fraud programs.  The rest "disappeared" through poor record keeping.

The principle point of anger should hail from the fact that there will be no criminal charges and the money will be "paid back" over years through a series in cuts of future funding which will continue the cycle of increasing child poverty and cheap labor in Texas.

5 will get you 10 that similar fraud findings will manifest in other Texas child welfare programs.

Thanks Rick Perry for showing the nation on how not to run a stat and showing the world that we need to take better care of our most precious treasures.

Why help the border babies when you do not help your own citizens?
