“...does not identify how an independent Texas would run in the absence of federal funding.”
LOL...very well, thank you. Without all the federal regulations, abandonment of the horrendous “climate” regs, plentiful oil and gas, confiscation of fantastic wealth by DC, and no export restrictions, Texas would be very rich. It would probably be able to pay it’s citizens the way Alaska did when North Slope oil was discovered at Prudhoe Bay.
Ditto that!
