It's a federal government responsibility. But it's a Texas problem. And we can't solve the problem with just Anglo Republicans.

Well, the problem of the federal government is that they print money and go in debt. That's their national policy, Democrats and Republicans it doesn't matter. And this is where I differ.

That may solve the problem.

That's what our problem is. We haven't had anyone step up and take the initiative to assume the responsibility for the management of that type of thing. The water board has agreed to take on the responsibility, but it will be costly. We're just in that process of trying to get an aquifer manager to do that.

The debate on how to shrink the federal government is at the core of our problem of government not doing its job.

Montana and the federal government are in a taxpayer-subsidized killing frenzy.
