Out of all the states that are on that growing list, Texas is the only one with a real fair shake of successfully surviving on its own.

The majority of other southern states are so poor, that they would quickly parish without the billions of dollars the Fed sends their way. This is not the case for Texas, which is one of the few states that pays more in IRS than it gets back in 'gifts' from the Federal Government.

If Texas really wants to leave I hope all the best for her.

Not only is she financially able, her power grid is independent, amongst other things.
