I saw that, but when you look at how much total spending in Texas versus the other states, it just blows everything else out of the water.

Alaska spends $994 per capita, but only $774 million.
West Virginia spends $845 per capita and $1.57 billion.
Nebraska spends $763 per capita or $1.39 billion.

By comparison, Texas is spending $759 per person and $19.1 billion. It also figures out to be about half the annual state budget. It’s a fraction of that in those other states.
