43. Texas gets plenty of government money but they deny it. Think of all the government

Wed Jan 29, 2014, 10:07 AM

Jan 2014

installations that are located in Texas. There are many we do not even know about. An example: I am enrolled in DirectExpress which is a Fed bank that holds a lot of the Social Security money - it is located in Texas.

By the way my question re DirectExpress is why is my social security money not located in an account close to where I live. I, and I assume many others, am not interested in bumping up the economy in Texas while my state has a perfectly good Fed in Minneapolis.

Ironically all the workers at these Texas installations will benefit from President Obama's government pay raises. So they get to bite the hand that feeds them and get paid for it.
