“Deduct the $40 million from the money Texas sends to the Feds.”
And when the Feds whine that they are going to punish Texas for using that $40,000,000 for poor Texans, Texans ought to fly that good old “Come and Take It!” flag from its fight for independence. There are FAR more guns in Texas than the federal government has, and no one has to teach millions of Texans how to shoot.
But we wouldn’t have to go that far. Texas could just shut down every oil and gas pipeline that leaves our state. Talk about gas prices!
OMG, that is brilliant.
