This is what happens when you have intelligent leadership -- The Lone Star State posted a sharp jump in economic output per resident, a key measure of rising prosperity -- Everything’s bigger in Texas — including its economy. And it’s not just because more people are moving there. Strip out population growth and Texas is generating thousands of dollars more per resident than it did just three years ago. That kind of growth matters politically. It signals rising living standards, a stronger tax base and greater leverage to fund infrastructure, education and other priorities without raising taxes. Texas’ success story gives Republicans a clear example to argue that low taxes, light regulation and strong energy production deliver real economic advantages, not just population churn. Those gains show up clearly in the data. The Lone Star State saw a 10.1% increase in economic output on a per-capita basis from 2021 to 2024, based on calculations using Bureau of Economic Analysis and U.S. Census figures. -- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/texas-isnt-just-growing-its-economy-getting-richer-per-resident
