In reply to the discussion: Gov. Greg Abbott: Texas will build border wall amid 'unprecedented crisis' [View all]Lonestarblue
(9,986 posts)Considering some other areas that affect Texas more, like healthcare and education, Abbott should spend money on those instead of a stupid wall. Texas has the highest percentage of people with no healthcare in the country. And the maternal death rate is also the highest in the country, ranking right up there with some third-world countries. That rate spiked after Republican legislators forced the closure of 81 actual health clinics that provided care for poor women (versus the fake Christian pregnancy crisis centers that provide no healthcare and only tell lies to stop an abortion).
And our energy system needs to be weatherized. Theyre supposedly working on that, but given Republican regulations Im not expecting much. A Republican regulation is when you make it appear that youre doing something to add control when all youre doing is encouraging greater profits.
