That's true, but if Texas really were its own country, is there any doubt that no Texas version of FEMA would exist?Quote:

RickyBobby wants to "spend" the surplus on more tax cuts to wealthy and corps
Also Call Perry a Frkn idiot for not taking federal money for so many things.Quote:

Rick Perry, doing his best to eliminate the middle class.
