Texas has long gotten from the fed govt their own money back, and others states’ money. That would end. Strike 1.

False. This is one of those statistics you can twist to tell whatever lie you want, but every source I can find lists Texas as a net contributor.

The federal debt is just that. Ultimately it is tied to US currency. Given what is happening in Washington you would have to be insane to adopt the dollar as your currency today. As far as federal assets, Texas is not a state with a tremendous amount of federal land, in fact, the proportion is tiny. It is more likely Texas would charge the feds rent for their facilities on Texas land.

Again, when you lament over payments from the federal government you expose yourself as a democrat. The federal government has to take everything it gives, and it takes more from Texas than it gives back. Texas secedes and all things being equal its citizens get a tax cut just from not having to support federal employees. That and deal with the exodus of people leaving Texas for the US, and the influx of people headed for Texas from the US. Strike 3.

Win-win. You get the welfare mooches, Texas gets the people who want to work and be free.

So you hate Texas. Stay in your blue state getting welfare. You have shown yourself to be entirely ignorant of the situation. Why you keep posting to this thread is beyond me since you have nothing to offer but ignorance.

Texas does indeed get more from the Feds than it pays.

I have little ignorance to offer, but what I can do is expose your falsehoods...
