Rick Perry's Economics Class

At last night's Republican presidential candidates' debate, when asked to respond to former Vice President Dick Cheney's criticism of comments he had made about Social Security being a Ponzi scheme, Rick Perry had this to say:

We're about fixing things. You can either have reasons or you can have results. And the American people expect us to put results in place.

WTF? We don't need no stinking reasons? An intelligent person might want to learn the reasons that brought about a given condition, and have a good set of reasons for taking whatever action he takes to bring about the desired results. Sounds like maybe Perry has not only handed over authority in Texas to God, but, if elected president, will abdicate the White House as well.
