My state (North Dakota) is the largest producer of wheat in the country.
We get over $1 Billion a year from the federal government in agricultural subsidies.
So why would the people of the major agricultural states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Oklahoma, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, etc) side with Texas?
All of these states are getting agricultural subsidies from the federal government.
Texas does grow wheat, and corn, and barley.
I don't need you. You are expensive. I don't like you. I've had this conversation before. Next comes the divorce.

All of those states are just getting a few of their own tax dollars back. And when the govt. goes broke from poor management and communism, the subsidies will stop anyway. Can’t pay what you do not have.
I’m not calling for Texas to leave the US immediately, although the thought is intriguing, BUT, if the Zero by chance gets re-elected, within months, a lot of people in red states will wanting out. I don’t feel like I will be alone.
One goal communists always have is to control the food. So all the mid country farmers need to remember that,too
Best case is for Zero gone, new administration full of conservative R’s even if the one at the top is not too conservative.
I’ve said it on other threads, I’ll say it again, Zero has to go, along with Holder, and all the czars.( That title was borrowed from Russia too)
