I'm glad I live in Texas.
To all the liberals that tell me, "there goes your Social Security", I simply respond, "I come out ahead, I pay more in federal taxes than I get from SS." Texans have little to fear, we own the oil patch, and there's a rainy day fund exceeding $25 billion.
LOL, and we have LOTS of guns, too.
