Those statistics are sobering. I'm not sure what current policy can do to change the amount of people over 25 with a high school diploma - but that could be because of many factors including high immigration from other states (Texas has had net inflows from almost every state for 5+ years) mostly on the bottom end of the scale. The insurance statistics are also sobering. But Texas has loads of opportunity and many programs for business development. It would also be easier to save up money to move to CA if you were in Texas than the other way around...

> But Texas has loads of opportunity and many programs for business development. I keep hearing "business development" thrown around, but it really sounds like "avoiding paying taxes". As Kansas has shown, it drives your state into the ground.

  And the businesses don't want to come to Kansas that's for sure. The biggest complaint from then largest employers in Wichita in regards to WSU was the lackluster education programs in engineering and computer science. Having been through their graduate and undergraduate programs I understand why companies refuse to setup in Kansas. Why the hell would you want to pay any tax and potentially deal with substandard employees?
