What will Texas do when, privately, Deep State tells Texas pols that Deep State will pull all federal funding from Texas unless Texas complies.
“Deep State will pull all federal funding from Texas unless Texas complies.…”
Texas pays fed taxes that they can stop paying.
They don’t do that anymore. It doesn’t work. What does work is they cancel the Super Bowl, World Series and Tater Swuft concerts in Texas. That scares the crap out of John Q. and Karen Q. Public.
Didn’t Trump get sued and lose for trying to withhold Fed money unless a state did something.
“What will Texas do when, privately, Deep State tells Texas pols that Deep State will pull all federal funding from Texas unless Texas complies.”
You nailed it. The states have become so reliant on the fed that they simply won’t do what’s really needed, until it’s too late. They don’t want to give up all that money. It’s always about power and money. Everything you see is “bread and circuses”.
