Actually, this thread is about Texas making a decision, and what people think of it. The primary point of the title is the financial aspect, but that doesn't mean it's the only thing out there or even the only part of the article. I can think it's a poor decision on a human rights and financial front, believe it or not. I can even keep the two separate, something that many others can't seem to.
My original reply was mostly about money because I was responding to a 'why are we deciding a moral issue based on cost' post. The truth is, the Republicans introduced the "it's only about money" framework but still insist on discussing the moral aspect as well. I first addressed the framework (money), and then the immediate, change of subject, moral rebuttal.
