Texas government spending has increased substantially faster than the growth in inflation and population since 2004, at a cost to Texans of $15 billion this two-year budget cycle. That's an additional $1,000 burden on the average Texas family of four, just to fund state government.

In the spirit of Booker T. Washington, one of America's great activists for education, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance, this project uses detailed data analysis to uncover what really causes prosperity and its opposite: poverty.

In accord with this, we share Jefferson’s conviction that any nation that expects to be both “ignorant and free … expects what never was and never will be.”
