Loud mouthed Texas politicians THINK they can get along without Federal funding. They just cut $5.4 billion from public education and have yet to find funds to cover a $4.7 billion IOU for Medicaid from two years ago. I live in Texas. Trust me, Texas would struggle mightily without Federal funding.
