Sorry Arizona, you are a very close second, but Texas takes the #1 position in the power rankings.

Rick Perry needs to run for President.

These are the kind of people in charge of educating our children?........ :? :roll:

Yeah it sucks that they fiscally run in the black most years, have some of the best roads in the country, low taxes and a great business climate. It also sucks that they enforce the laws on the books and have swift and definite justice.

Get a clue about things before you go running your liberal talking points by people.

Just like every other state, but they manage to do it and keep it in the black. Just because they run their state right doesnt mean they shouldnt get the distributed wealth like any other state.

Game over/

Mainly just Texas. I've been to Georgia and Tennessee and I've enjoyed each of those states.

They're not keeping it in the black. They're running a huge deficit.
Revenue estimate puts shortfall at $27 billion

Texas is expected to collect $72.2 billion in taxes, fees and other general revenue during the 2012-13 budget, down from the $87 billion used in the current two-year budget, Comptroller Susan Combs announced Monday.
That puts the shortfall at $27 billion given that maintaining services would run $99 billion for biennium.
Collections for the current budget will come in $4.3 billion less than budgeted.
