Seems to be it’s more of an economic problem. There are lots of folks in Texas drawing Social Security if Texas succeeds then those monthly payments will stop. Texas is full of military installations if the state of Texas succeeds then US support for them will stop. I would hope the US would still support its Veterans with their checks but no doubt they would need to go to the US for their healthcare.
Geez if they succeed Social Security would be solvent for 100 years, the Defense budget would be reduced significantly, and they can let us Vets just die...
Texas is my favorite State besides Montana as I have spent years there but calls for Texas to succeed are just dumb...
“There are lots of folks in Texas drawing Social Security if Texas succeeds then those monthly payments will stop.”
If a social security recipient moves to Mexico, do they lose benefits they have paid for?
Texas has a booming economy and feeds DC. If Texas did not have to fund DC’s insane foreign policy, globalism, and utterly out of control welfare state and follow DC’s regulatory regime, Texas could easily be self sustaining.
Wanna buy some oil? Some gas? Some Cotton? Some high tech?
Wanna launch rockets into space? Elon would LOVE ending his relationship with the FAA and NTSB.
Cash on the barrelhead.
soc sec is owed to the recipients regardless of where they live..
Because Texas has succeeded where so many other states have not. Success breeds more success. Winning.
Texas already SECEDED from the Union in 1861 joining the Confederate States of America. History. Secession.
And all the Social Security taxes from TX will stop going to DC.
