The financial case for Texas independence
Can Texas Make It?
The short answer, in Washington's own numbers, is yes. Texas already funds its own government, sends the federal government tens of billions more than it gets back, and is chained to a balance sheet its own auditors call unsustainable.
8th
largest economy on Earth. Ahead of Canada, Russia, and Australia. More than 180 sovereign nations run a full government on less.
$68B
a year Texas sends Washington beyond what it gets back. The third-largest net contribution of any state.
“Unsustainable”
the word the Treasury’s own audited financial report uses for the federal fiscal path. All three rating agencies have now pulled the U.S. top credit rating.
$100,000
in federal debt now rides on a young Texan starting out, and it climbs every single day.
~$150B
quietly drained from Texans’ bank accounts by inflation in one year, taken with no vote and no way to opt out.
Kept
Texans keep their Social Security. Citizens collect it anywhere in the world, for life, and Texas’s younger workforce already pays in more than its retirees draw out.
Washington is running the last chapter of a Ponzi scheme, and its own auditors have put it in writing. The question was never whether Texas can afford to leave. It is how much longer Texas can afford to stay.
