Your points are well taken but keep in mind that Texas is actually REDUCING spending over the next two years. An important FIRST apparently that shouldn't go without some kudos being passed around.

In any case, the closer to home the better when it comes to taxes and government meddling. It's a lot easier getting in the faces of local and county "authorities".
