Please don't misunderstand my post. I'm not questioning Texas Hospitality. I'm questioning the basis upon which people are loving it and upon which they think they want to move there for.
Even if all the support is not government based, the mindset driving a lot of people's appreciation for Texas is that Texas provides "better welfare" (to put it bluntly). That can't be good for Texas.
This same thing is what drives illegal immigration, if that helps to explain what I'm trying to say.
Well, if they think that, Texas provides crappy welfare. That's one reason Rick Perry is getting a challenge from a fake Republican in next year's governor election. She wants to provide a safety net for everyone that's "up to par."
