How much do the Feds take out of the state of Texas in taxes, fees, and other programs.? Just the income taxes alone would likely cover that.

Good question. A quick internet search says 261 billion in taxes for 2017. I seriously doubt that they are giving back as much as they receive.
The state talks big and sure it has plenty going for it... but it also has an atrociously high violent crime, incarceration and poverty rate as well as a super low education level.
Cut all that federal food assistance program money off as well as the farm subsidy money and what are they gonna do?
