Calexit?

You do realize that most the states that receive the biggest net inflow of fed $$$ are southern states? Originally Posted by Old-T

That's what I said.

I really don't think they've thought this through. When they leave they can all say bye bye to all federal funding...

Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
food stamps
etc., etc., etc.....

It's basically a wash, though. We wouldn't miss them either.

However, I do not think what they considered is the cost of administration of all these.

Take into account that cost that they would have to absorb, plus the fact they now must have their own national defense, they would have a great deficit.

When some States decided back in 1861 to leave the Union, a Republican President said "fine, but first you have to win the war".

I fail to see the difference in 2017.

Let them go.

I had not noticed anyone in this thread complaining about military bases or petroleum refining. I didn't see anyone whining about how much pork flows into those southern states you love.

In many of the instances of what base remained and which was cut, it was heavily influenced by where the base was. Care to justify Randolph AFB in San Antonio, for example? P.O.R.K. Which you want to claim is OK so long as it is southern flavored pork.

Typical Wacko hypocrite: spend the $$ on the pork that helps you & your district and it's all good.

here a clue divide and conquer ... as the japanese merchant vessel won ... change the country via business and with the web and advance farming technque its endless for the stock market new country join in the circle ... paper up, rock down, borrow paper up etc

I think several areas of California would demand to stay and the US should support their aspirations.

That's what I said.

You love to say someone else had their head handed to them--It is your way of saving face when you lost a discussion. Again.

In this case, contrary to your stupidity, i did not start the fed money conversation.

Also, tell me again what state Redstone Arsenal is in? I thought it was in Alabama--but you are saying it is not in the south.

Did they move it this week?

There is no difference. Originally Posted by Old-T

How much Ohio commerce depends on Mississippi River levees being maintained all the way to the mouth of the Mississippi River, Old-THUMPER? Are you suggesting that the Army Corp of Engineers is maintaining levees only for folks living in Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, Old-THUMPER? How much Illinois corn or Kansas wheat is shipped down the Mississippi River destined for foreign markets, Old-THUMPER? How much of the United State's Strategic Petroleum Reserves are stored in salt domes in Cleveland, Old-THUMPER? Fuck your mendacious misrepresentation of the facts, you equivocating liar. You and Andy the Little Nazi Boy can go fuck yourselves in the ass, Old-THUMPER.
