Maybe but the US runs a massive deficit annually. All states are dependent on Fed dollars.
It has a much more moderate climate than most of Texas.
It's weird. I remember when the state was run by Tyson and the Democrats. Dad ran a plant in W Memphis and I would drive up from Houston, AND FREEZE MY ASS it was cold.
Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas get 3 times as much money from the Fed as New Jersey and other blue states.
