NM is a much smaller state than Texas. Texas needs to cut out some of the local functions taken over by the emipre. LOL
It will help Texas to have some protection in the Congress from Obama’s endless economic puhishment directed at the State’s industry. The Soros crowd doesn’t like Texas much.
The tax payers of Texas are looking at a 25 Billion Dollar budget shortfall, what dwarfs the New Mexico budget shortfall even on a per capita basis.
And while there are White House policies that hamper the economies of Texas and every other state, those policies do not account for the 25 Billion Dollar budget shortfall in Texas.
Instead, the shortfall is a result of out of control state spending which is the responsibility of the governor and state legislature.
