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.
what? are you kidding me? all this time i thought it was only we losers in California that had this problem... but Texas? a conservative state? the conservative state of Texas? and i keep getting freep messages telling me to leave Cali for Texas! i'm shocked! shocked, i tell you!

As I demonstrated, your numbers about Texas are dead wrong.
