This is exactly why the DOE, HHS, HUD, And others are not constitutional. The IRS takes money from State citizens to spend on things that are constitutionally the State’s responsibility, then threaten to withhold funds if the State doesn't do what the Fed says.

We'd be better off just paying the portion of Fed taxes that covers federal mandates and spend the rest of it as we see fit.

” The website for the Take Back Texas pledge does not identify how an independent Texas would be funded in absence of federal money that currently comprises about 30% of our state’s budget”

For one thing, Texas will not be sending cash and boatloads of taxes to DC anymore. They will not have to follow any of DC’s retarded regulations anymore. And they will be able to attract all kinds of business. With no natural enemies and a very heavily armed populace, Texas will not need a large military.

It could work just fine.

Texas Ping, the Best State in the USA!

A ping out to the Texas Ping list, founded by Windflier.

So the DMN wets its pants over succession, what do you know. Figures that a bunch of wanna-be Austin city lovers wouldn't support succession!

Another special Texas winter edition for your perusal.

As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the Texas Ping list.

Blessings, and stay cool!

I don’t think there’s a major paper in Texas that’s owned and staffed by Texans.

————————————

Absence of federal money. Texas pays in 200+ million dollars into Mordor on the Potomac’s coffers than what it gets back.. Texans should visit TNM.me and educate themselves on #TEXIT. Hundreds of answers to questions you may have.
