Rick Perry’s double dipping in the Texas State as he collects a paycheck as a retired state worker ($90,000) and as Governor ($150,000) for a state pay in excess of $240,000 says it all.

Live Blogging FoxNews Republican Debate
I am live blogging in a different form. I will write it like a story as I am listening as opposed to chronologic time stamping.
