Fact Check: Did Rick Perry Double Texans' Taxes?

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0700

ABC News - By Amy Bingham - Sep. 14 (Fact Check) - The Republican presidential debate started to look more like a Texas showdown Monday night when Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, accused his governor and fellow GOP candidate Rick Perry of doubling his taxes. “I’m a taxpayer there. My taxes have gone up. Our taxes have doubled since he’s been in office,” Paul said in response to the question about whether Perry should get credit for Texas’ job growth. ”So I would put a little damper on this but I don’t want to offend the governor because he might raise my taxes or something. ” But while Paul’s taxes have gone up in the decade Perry has been governor, the increase seems to have resulted more from the rising value of his house than policies handed down from the State House.

U.S. Slashes $800 Million in Military Aid to Pakistan

Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0700

ABC News - By Imtiyaz Delawala - Jul. 10 (News Report) - In a sign of tensions with Pakistan following the U.S. raid on former Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, White House chief of staff Bill Daley said today that the U.S. will suspend some $800 million in aid to Pakistan's military. "Obviously they have been an important ally in the fight on terrorism. They've been the victim of enormous amounts of terrorism," Daley said. "But right now they have taken some steps that have given us reason to pause on some of the aid which we were giving to their military, and we're trying to work through that." Daley confirmed a report in The New York Times this morning that "up to about $800 million in military aid and equipment, or over one-third of the more than $2 billion in annual American security assistance to Pakistan, could be affected" because of concerns over Pakistan's expulsion of American military trainers, as well as Pakistan's ineffectiveness in fighting militants.
