Not really. The federal government bails Texas out of the messes they get themselves into all the time (like their shitty power grid). Historically, Texas has often received more in federal funding than it contributes in federal taxes.

Is the Texas power grid shitty? Say, compare to California’s?

		Yes. Both are shitty, but CA is at least shared with the national grid.

		it's that texas has it's own power grid. Other states tend to share grids.
