Okay, TP, you win. It's exhausting trying to hold an intelligent dialogue with you libtards, but I'm going to throw out a couple more things, then I'm done with this thread.
First, absent the incompetence of the Feds, I am confident Texas would do a substantially better job of handling border issues.
Second, try to remember that this all hypothetical. In the event of an actual collapse of the U.S. economy, leading to secession, or whatever, NONE of your precious government entitlements would be in play, period. No VA, no SS, no Medicare, no Medicaid, you name it...gone. Typical of a libtard to bleat like a lamb over the very thought of his government paycheck going away. If you want to hear some serious bleating, stick with your man O'Blunder, he'll give the country plenty of reasons if left unchecked.
On the military base issue, of course there would be some pain, and some adjustments to be made. O'Blunder came up with the sequester in 2011 for the express purpose of tearing down the military. So, many of those installations aren't safe for long, anyway.
All that being said, long term, I stand by the premise that Texas could make it on its own...IN THE EVENT OF A COLLAPSE. Originally Posted by EXTXOILMAN

You and the rest of the GOP zombies here wouldn't give one dollar out of a hundred to help anybody. All you do is cry and bitch right now by virtue of the fact that the government makes you give one dollar out of a hundred to help anybody. The very idea that you would do so voluntarily is fucking joke. You're out for yourselves, nobody else. That's what being a republican and a libertarian is all about. Fuck everybody but yourselves. And you know it. Your argument is stupid, you've refuted it yourself many times. Fuck off.
And ICE isn't really allowed to protect the border now? If the Feds were out of the way, you can be sure that thousands of Texas volunteers would be happy to greet anyone coming across their border uninvited.
And your comment about Medicaid and Medicare is ridiculous. No one is going to let people go without health care when they know it depends on them. People are by nature compassionate and generous. You think people are lazy and selfish because you are lazy and selfish. You're willing to put other people's money where your mouth is. The rest of us will take care of each other, even more so if government gets out of the way. We're not all lazy and selfish like you are, Timmy, hiding in the skirts of big government. We're better than you. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy
