Why Texas is doing so much better economically than the rest of the nation
Advertisements [?]
Saw this in Slate today:

http://www.slate.com/id/2250999/

Got to admit I like the Longhorn logo, it's a nice touch. What do you guys think about this? One one hand, they say that Texas avoided a major housing crisis because it didn't allow home equity loans until quite recently (i.e., regulation protected us). On the other hand, they say that deregulation and globalization helped us in the energy markets and in manufacturing.

I thought this was an interesting piece -- thoughts?
