If you check you will find that Texas residents give much more money to the federal government than they recieve from the federal government. If you live in one of those states that is not able to pay their share "you are welcome".

Actually, Texas is one of only TWO red states that receive LESS than a dollar for every dollar they pay. Thank Gawd for those "oil wells".

Isn't that funny? If Democrats didn't have to carry Republicans, this would be a very prosperous country. All that California money could go to paying California debt.

Does this mean they can finally teach "magical creation" and force kids to "pray" in school?

"Dear Gawd,
Why do I have to go to school in Texas. An education here won't prepare me for anything. They teach the "occult". Is it because they want to secede from the Union? Are they preparing me to live in a "third world" country? Help me Gawd. Protect me from your followers".

Isn't that funny? I put up a big red and blue chart and still, they just pull "stuff" out of thin air.

What is especially funny, the author's name is "I am what I seem".

Ya'll stay home and fix your own states...

As for the accreditation crack, wonder about those accredited schools before the creation of the DoEd.

Fortune 500, clearly trying to downplay the reason for Texas strength, still can't deny the obvious.

FORTUNE -- Back in 1965, The Mamas & the Papas reached the top of the charts with "California Dreamin'," a song pining for a return to the warm safety of their home state. But these days they'd be better off dreaming about Texas.

The reason is that Texas powered through the global fiscal crisis, while The Golden State's economy is forecast to remain tarnished for some time.

The fact that California remains locked in such a pronounced slump compared to its economically and demographically similar cousin to the southeast has been pounced upon with biblical zeal by conservative commentators who claim the state's woes are a direct result of its liberalism and sloth. But in truth, California's industrial mix and its history of voter empowerment may have done more than glad-handing liberalism to bring low the nation's largest economy -- one that, in better times, brought the world the Popsicle, the Hula Hoop, the "slimsuit" swimsuit, and the fortune cookie.

It's our history of voter empowerment, yeah, that's what killed California....

Buncha libs here with a liberal agenda...voted....good excuse.
