We just ignore the EPA and its decrees. When the Federal Government cuts off federal funds, Texas cuts off the flow of
petroleum products from the the refineries that line the Houston Ship channel.

There are several big pipelines that run from those refineries up to the East Coast. You just turn off the flow. We find out REAL quick who needs who more.

Better idea. Wait until April, then seize all the Federal income tax money that’s been sent to Austin.

They’re desperately counting on our income taxes to keep going. :D

I would love to see that happen.

But it won’t.

I have yet to see anyone on our side with big enough balls. Yeah, even in Texas.

If fedgov shuts off their funds, they should direct all companies in Texas to forward their federal tax witholding to the state to be held in escrow until it’s resolved.

I love it.

We live in the Northeast, but ...

We heat with wood, including our water.

We also have a wood cookstove.

We can generate our own electricity and pump our own water by hand.

I’m a telecommuter, so I don’t need to drive much.

We have months of provisions in store.

STARVE THE BEAST!

Great idea! This strategy worked for OPEC, Mexico and Chavez. Freeze them!
