Economic Collapse quote of the week from Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Secession...
"Texas is a unique place . When we came into the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that. My hope is that America and Washington in particular pays attention. We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot." --Texas Gov. Rick Perry
