Texas prides itself on low taxes and no government interference. Will it become a third world state?

I just don't see the rethugs raising taxes or putting the repairs in the federal debt credit card they so abhor.

CA that is moving to TX because they can't stand the liberals and want to live among their own kind? I wonder how they feel now? I guess there's one less fault in CA, and TX is going to get one of their own.

I believe in karma now. At least for today.
