From what I read later is that this is really just an empty threat. I also herard today that Texas is taking some of the stimulas money.....that’s sad to hear. D*mn that Perry.
You can not threaten the government with the assertion of state’s rights and at the same time hold your hand out. The latter requires the people in the state to bend over and grab their ankles; the former would allow you to hold your heads up and at least be the masters of your own destinies.
