Texas need six more Senators

Luttrell and Rosenblum also note that the state’s job growth has exceeded the nation’s since the 1990s. “Data from the 2010 census show Texas’ population expanded 48% since 1990, twice the national rate. Net births (births minus deaths) accounted for 60% of the growth; migration from other countries and states accounted for 40%. Domestic inflows rose significantly in 2007–09, perhaps reflecting the relatively strong state economy before the recession and the shorter business-cycle contraction. In the long term, a relatively low cost of living, including no state income tax, and the availability of jobs attract workers. In-migration from abroad often hinges on conditions in countries of origin. Recent violence in Mexico has produced an influx of middle- to high-income immigrants, bringing their human and financial capital across the border to El Paso, Houston, San Antonio and Austin.” WSJ

It is becoming glaringly obvious that he big western states have little Senate democracy, and less as time goes on. Congress needs to implement the voters right agenda, Subdivide the late states and let the economy aggregate around nine regional of reserve banks. Do it with Congressional consent, within the Constitution, like we did in the antebellum days. Congress could actually sell about 30 Senate seats to aggregates of the newly created states and cover a third of he debt.
