I don't see where this bill supports "limited government", it seems like the government is expanding it's powers by restricting yet another thing. I'm more of a quality-of-life kind of person, but to each their own. If I was optimizing for "personal freedom", I'd try find a state that allows you to do things like use legal marijuana, bet on sports, purchase a Tesla in-state, automatically register to vote, etc.
And while Texas does have an impressive economic growth record, some other states (California and NY) are actually growing faster [1]: The most trusted measure of economic strength says California is the world-beater among democracies. The state’s gross domestic product increased 21% during the past five years, dwarfing No. 2 New York (14%) and No. 3 Texas (12%), according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
I remember before Corona, we had record deficits and government spending. How is that an example of limited government?
