Wait! Y'all are lookin' this the wrong way around! Texas just saved the federal gummint $36 billion buckaroos.
Maybe Gov. Perry can save us even more money by seceding. We can move Mission Control to another state, and shut down all those military bases, buildings, court houses, infrastructure monies, tax dollars from other states and any subsidies. And we'll save a bundle by keeping any money earmarked for Texas, not to mention pay and perks for the two Senators and several Congresspeople!
