      Hey, if you say so. You'd know better than me. For years I've read about the financial struggles they're up against. The answer is certainly complicated, no doubt.

        The article mentioned they are going to drop the sales tax on gas too... so yeah.

          they have a $100 billion surplus at the moment.

          Even the latest budget should leave a $49 billion surplus.

              In Texas it seems like everyone drives diesel pickups so that would be good here.

                  That's a function of the highest tax rates in the nation. Time will tell if they can continue to build their coffers to fund their agenda. Universal healthcare is next, so it will be interesting.

                    Hostess is taking shrinkflation to a new level. I picked up a package on my layover in DFW yesterday, and the chocolate Donettes were smaller. The package said, "New Look. Same Great Taste". The package of six was 410 calories, down from the normal 560.

                        Biden has the answer right here.
