The government isn't the only employer in this region anymore. Used to be, though. And if the government goes down, the whole country goes down with it, one way or another. Those federal employees sure aren't the ones buying homes priced a million and up.

"they might actually have to cut back a little."

Like all those low taxes GWB left behind in Texas<g>.

You pay about a 50% tax on car rentals at Bush Airport in HOU. Then we also know about the 3% RE property tax with no exemptions that has to be the highest rate in the nation.
