Texafornia dreaming
America’s future will be written in the two mega-states
In the cable-news version of America, the president
sits in the White House issuing commands that
transform the nation. Life is not like that. In the real
version of America many of the biggest political
choices are made not in Washington but by the
states—and by two of them in particular. Texas and
California are the biggest, most important states in
the union, each equally convinced that it is the
future. However, their rules and regulations are
basically opposite to each other.
