LOL the USA would crumble without texas. we get away from all your flatlined debtor states and join OPEC then you're absolutely fucked. we got the oil, we got the refineries, and we can just about sustain ourselves on what we've got. enjoy your $200 barrels of oil while we ride around the prairies in our lambos bitches. not to mention the massive corporate migration currently going on to reap our lovely state tax benefits.
i didn't hear anything about texas in the news today, did you?
