Texas is a classic example of why states rights should be secondary to federal government. Texas is extremely libertarian and avoids industrial regulations regularly.Consequently,the Harvey flood cost is going too be astronomically higher because of ignoring maintenance and improvements that should have been done.
Texas politicians push states rights as do most conservatives and republicans.The purpose is to avoid responsibility by exempting the state from regulations that should be required.'Leave it up to the state because we know that they won't do it.'Any ensuing catastrophe can be turned over to the feds.
The extra costs from collapsing levees,reservoir drainage,chemical plant explosions,ad infinitem, will be extensive and most can be attributed to Texas(states rights).
Texas attracts much business because of unregulation and brags about their business climate which is highly subsidized by the federal government.Why can't the people stop this corporate plunder?Why can't we have government of the people?
Why can't we let simple things be simple?
Let's have a real central government by the people.
