Texas is a proud state and a firm believer in the 10th Amendment. They know that the Constitution says nothing about providing emergency relief to a state so the responsibility falls to the individual state.
Given Rick Perrys secessionist views, I would not want to insult the man by offering him money
Given YOUR views ... please stop giving them, liar.
Thanks for the neg Gunny.....
Texas can't have it both ways. They can either proudly belong to the union or get the hell out. Texas talks the talk when it comes to playing the Secessionist blow-hards. They scream about the 10th amendment and states rights. They moan for a limited government.
But when push comes to shove, they have their hand out begging just like every other state
That's simply not true. We give up a dollar in federal taxes and get 94 cents back. That's not begging, it's a state getting shortchanged by the federal govt. You do realize that there are 15 states, Texas being one of them, that don't even break even while 35 states receive more than they contribute?
