Texas Prepares for Sovereignty if U.S. Defaults - Rep. James White Files Texas Self Sufficiency Act HB 568
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.

Simple. If the Feds fall apart, Texas citizens should cease sending tax dollars to the Fed, but pay to the state instead. Texas may get 1/3 of income from the Fed govt, but they do not get all the $ paid to the Feds by individuals & business back.

Interesting, Virginia is looking at having its' own currency as a contingency plan.

You do realize that once you leave the Northern Virginia (DC Metro area), Virginians are not known for taking much crap either.

Those 100,000 dickbags are sniveling, entitled libtards; thus, making it easy to dissuade them form encroaching into areas they find uncomfortable or downright painful.

Wrong.

For every dollar Texans send to the Fed, only $1 is returned to them. Texas is seriously supplementing blue state crap.

Besides, if this happens, there will be no more freebies for the entitlement crowd. So, expect an exodus to the blue states of the fat walmartians.
