The population of Texas is 601,723 according to the 2010 census. There are 333,435 people in Texas that recieve Welfare. That's more than half. If they secede, they LOSE that welfare. Most of the welfare recipients are sreaming about how they want to secede because that's what faux news tells them to shout.
Over 80% of the welfare recipients I know are die hard republicans yet they shout and scream about the economy. Makes very little sense. They are the problem they are upset about.
Let them secede, then see what happens when the federal checks stop coming in.

How about California instead? Losing California and adding Puerto Rico would actually decrease the number of spanish speaking Americans, and would improve the overall economy! Texas has a budget, California is perpetually bankrupt. Plus, we lose Hollywood and all the plastics, and the California Wine will become an import, which immediately gives it more credibility and thus they can up the price! We lose the wine, but gain the RUM!
Also, think about how the election game would change! And FEMA won't have to repair things when they finally split off and float away into the Pacific, just like Puerto Rico!!edit on 13-11-2012 by darkhorserider because: (no reason given)

Are you on drugs? The population of Texas is in the neighborhood of 25 million, not 600k LOL
Since you are so concerned about welfare, lets look at puerto rico. Their median household income is a little over $18,000 a year. How many welfare dollars do you think would flow into puerto rico if they ever became a state? Hint: Millions and Millions.
Get real. The fact you cannot mentally calculate that Texas has more than 600,000 people in it speaks volumes about you.
What makes your contention even more laughable is that in this thread you claim to be an "educator".edit on 14-11-2012 by TheAngryFarm because: (no reason given)
