    Per your link, Texas is pretty low on the list of federal funds as a percentage of the budget. Much less so than many northern states.

    Just looking at the amount of money received is a poor metric.

      To me that implies TX will have a 20% gap to fill, and I am not sure that 20% counts as “pretty low”. What do you mean? FWIW, I didn’t downvote you.

        Oh that’s easy, they’ll just make that the new sales tax! Take I from the poor with more regressive taxes.
