Facebook Creates New Jobs In Austin

In the North Texas Conservative the Blogger Shawn Griffith goes into explaining, how great it is that Austin won the honor of the social networking site Facebook bid for them to open an office in Austin. We see in the Austin statesman that the giant will create over 200 jobs. The statesmen also reported that "Gov. Rick Perry announced the Facebook proposal this morning, and said the state would provide $1.4 million in incentives, conditioned on the approval of local incentives." This I believe is another big win for the state in Job growth rate and will make companies look even more at Texas.

The blog then state’s how Texas has not needed any of the government’s involvement with anything in our state due to our state of strong economics and job growth. I agree with Griffith in this manner that Texas does have a great growth rate and economic principles. Facebook saw this as a strong point and also with the big Technological business that are already in Austin.

Austin is number one in Job growth due to the high technological industry and along with a few other cities here in Texas. I do agree that corporations are seeing Texas as an expanding ground for their companies.

I disagree with the author on that on his approach on President Obama “President Obama continues to push irresponsible policies to spend money the federal government does not have in order to satisfy his own political agenda.” I don’t believe the president has his own agenda in my own opinion he is fixing the mess that the previous administration had put us into.

I think It is a good think that Texas can survive on it’s own with out having to plug any money into our state. He quotes his saying that “Our state is not dependent on the Obama administration, and President Obama doesn’t like that.” I think the government sees that as a breath of fresh air. That it’s one less state that does not have to be funded and can focus on the states that really do need the money and the help. To create jobs and have business open up shop.
