Quote:It is hard to look at one state's economic model and assume it will apply on a national level. Texas has a huge energy and IT market. How would that same plan apply to other states? Clinton came from Arkansas which is perrenially one of the poorest states and he had the best economic tenure of any president in the past 50 years (not that he was entirely responsible for it). Sound principles should be able to be universally applied, but seeing ways to take advantage of the economy of a state is far easier than trying to identify and exploit these opportunities across a nation.
