Montana aligned with the Dakotas could afford to exit the sinking ship. [/quote] Texas is one of the few states that pays more in federal income tax than it receives in federal funds. Texas turns down millions of federal dollars every year because it refuses to abide by the attached strings. Please get your facts straight. [/quote] Add up all military , federal goverment workers , contract workers . Retired on goverment pensions of any kind , welfare of any kind. Then get back to us on how self sufficient texas is . All military hardware spending as well. [/quote] And what difference would any of that make if the USA defaults and the dollar becomes worthless?!?!? You're argument is that just because the U.S. Government can incur debt and the Federal Reserve can print money, Texas can't live without it...Hell the U.S. Government spends twice as much as it takes in on an annual basis so that they can buy the State's subservience with money they borrowed, then the Fed printed out of thin air. How long do you think a system like that can really last? Hell take it to the extreme, every state should secede so they can incur their own debt and print their own money so that the counties will then be beholden to stay on... So basically, you're argument is that the US Federal Debt makes all the States slaves to the Federal Government... Fuck that... [/quote] And what are all those people who are programmed to eat every day , have utilities , and all fossil fuel goodies supposed to do ? just a logistics question is all . [/quote]
Original Message
State Rep. James White has proposed a bill that will require the leaders of Texas to start crunching the numbers and figure out what Texas would look like if it had to be self sufficient... limited or no federal support.... OUR OWN COUNTRY.... oops, I am getting a little ahead of myself, haha. Hey, I didn't say secession but that certainly comes to mind when thinking about the federal government having a financial meltdown and cutting off most or all support to the States.

State Representative James White Files HB 568: The Texas Self Sufficiency Act
AUSTIN, TEXAS-- State Representative James White has filed HB 568 or the Texas Self-Sufficiency Act. The Texas Self-Sufficiency Act creates a select committee to evaluate the effects of a possible reduction in or elimination of federal funding on the state budget due to federal fiscal policy. "Due to the fiscal dysfunction of Washington, D.C., and the fact that more than a third of our state's budget revenue comes from the federal government, Texas needs to study what it would mean if the Federal Government couldn't meet its obligations," stated Representative White.
