Wouldn't Have a Swamp to drain.

But I'm Serious.. What better way to decentralize power out of D.C. than to decouple the States FROM it? Immagine their shock when they wake up and everyone who they were screwing has just shut the door on them.
You guys DO know that the Federal government EXISTS because the States assembled it like a head office for multiple corporations to do business overseas, keep fair laws, and basically Rub the country into debt and try to micromanage our lives, right?
Ohh, wait, I might have been wrong about a couple of those.

I wonder how long the constitution actually lasted.

California will not be the state to exit. The population centers of San Diego, LA, and the Bay Area are far to heavily influenced by liberal politicians who see the Federal Government as their mother. They are just throwing a hissy fit over Trump.

Texas is the one in the future who might.

Now, personally I think Illinois should split into Northern Illinois and Southern Illinois.

Illinois is made up of the huge Chicagoland area and then everything else. A lot of states have major metro areas that dominate, but I can't think of one as dramatic as Illinois.

How much of the California economy is supported by Federal dollars ?? i.e. Military bases and federal locations and well as government jobs and retires and program funding.... The same for Texas.....

Without a moment's thought... gee, look at how you've analyzed it all.
As individual countries we would continue to trade. Just without the feds regulating everything.
Ahhh, California, such an advanced society,, ohh, but the Texans are stupid,
Almost seems like a bigoted attitude rather than an objective analysis. You're not a bigot, are you Bot?

I don't think California could stand on it's own Sew. It might be the 6th largest economy, (sure about that?, I have my doubts), but there are a lot of fortune 500 HQ in CA with plants in other states or countries. If they broke off on their own, they'd lose a lot of the tax benefits.

Besides, the large population centers are not heavy manufacturing areas. It's not like Chicago or even Boston. Those cities have tons of small manufacturing companies but LA, San Diego and Bay Area do not.

Believe me, we sell a ton of our products in California, (I'm going there for a week in January) but heathcare, hospitality, and financial service companies are the biggest buyers.

No, when you factor in the mentality of the people of the state, Texas is the one most likely. Hell, they think their another country now for crying out loud....! If they broke away, they'd pass a "State Income Tax" which they don't have now, and they'd bring in some serious cash.

But no state is going to leave under Trump; why would they?

Liberals cry about silly things like bathroom laws, but when push comes to shove, you think a liberal state is going to go broke over boys who want to pee in a girls room? Nope.
