I don't think that Texas really needs the federal govt. to survive (though liberals dearly wish it to be so).

Having said that...there is no way in hell the feds will allow any state to secede ever for any reason.

If it came down to it, the U.S. army would move in and kill all the "terrorists" who are obviously behind this. lol
Texas has no state income tax. Texas takes more than they give. I know your pundits say other wise but there are little stupid things your gov does that you dont think about. Like the food or medicine you take is pretty safe that's not magic. When you fly chances are you are going to not crash. This all costs money and just doesnt fall from heaven. Another one is texas banks would no longer be federally insured. That whole nasty liberal thing so you dont lose all your money if a bank goes under. I can go on and on. They want to go they should let go. Its a good time for this, puerto rico voted to become a state. So then the number stays the same and we dont have to change all the flags. Texas is saving us money already.
