Texas steals your tax dollars from the federal govt. It gets back $1.47 on every tax dollar it pays in and then it fails to programs that money was meant to be spent on. Education and healthcare are its two favorite targets. The state owes local school district millions. That's why obama wouldn't give dicky ricky any funds to fight wildfires, instead giving the money directly to the local gov'ts. He knew if he gave them to the state's top conman, fire departments would get any money.

However, the state doesn't have a problem pissing away money to support pricky perry's lavish lifestyle and through buckets of money at his corporate owners.
