Depends if Texas sees their liberty as more important than funding. If more than half the country is on government subsidy of some kind - money talks and Principles mean nothing, so weaning itself off the Federal teat might not be as simple as assumed.
I see that with farmers out here. They talk freedom, but the moment someone suggests they stop taking federal money to avoid the government strings that come attached with it - they get real pissed off real quick.
Federal funding is the heart of the issue.
Haven’t seen the movie, but if it’s at all accurate, “The Giver” should show this.
