Given there are undisputed economic implications involved in this discussion there is no reason to play out the Lib/Con economics by comparing Texas to another state. If you're going to do that then ALL states should come into play - and the Red States loose. They suck up more Fed money per dollar paid into the Fed than the Blue States do. I don't think that changes too much regardless of who's in power. You're talking about a LOT of programs, installations, institutions, etc, etc, that are involved, not something that can be turned off and on. Naval bases don't move very often. Farm subsidies don't change much. Populations, which account for most of the money going both directions, are what they are as are average incomes.
There was one, not the same site, that someone linked in another thread but I couldn't find it. I think it was for 2010, which might be the most recent available. Seems like it was part of a news article but I can't remember which magazine or whatever.
It doesn't really list the source material to any good reference. This was the source listed for your link.
It is precisely this fundamentalist attitude that is cutting your own throat, you are working against your own self interests. The funding was going to all providers of HC for women, PP non abortion clinics included. This tyrannical puritan ideology is not held by the majority in your state, you guys would rather have no health services for women rather than fed funding that doesn't go to abortions. Where in your budget are you going to make up the $20 million difference?
