To those who say loss of federal funds would make secession for states unrealistic - what happens when those funds dry up and Washington has no more money? The way the federal government is spending right now, it's inevitable.
According to the supreme court you do not have the right to secede.Actuaslly they do have that right and always have we are united by agreement and any state does have the right to leave

Every state that joined the union should of read the rules on secession if this was such a big deal.
You're forgetting.
Once those States Secede, the Federal Spending would also Plummet as a Result. You're forgetting that Texas is Mostly Republican and with Texas gone, gone will be all their Government Subsidies and Grants that keep the state afloat.
My guess is that Texas could get by, and without incurring a $16 Trillion debt.Actually, I think Texas could do just fine if they did leave. It would be States like California that would be in serious trouble it they left.
Texas has a lot of natural resources that they currently can't get to or are being regulated to death courtesy of the Federal Government. Yes there are things the state would have to pick up, but I do think Texas could actually handle it from an Economic Standpoint.
Minichervi, the wealthy might indeed flee Blue County America but they'd run to more exotic locales.
The problem for Red County America is that it is strategically screwed. It has a ton of natural resource wealth, but without saltwater ports to get those goods to market they have a big problem. Those little pockets of blue at a lot of the transportation hubs would be a huge problem to even make things work internally with a trade embargo blocking foreign markets. Cigarette prices west of the Mississipi river would not be pretty. That would be a big blue obstacle to even internal commerce for Red County America.
That is why I compare it to Palestine. Because with that division you could be embargoed into the stone age.
Every red state has a path to TX, LA, MS, AL...access to the gulf of Mexico. With the exception of Alaska, but they're already isolated for most part right now with their own ports.
It's the blue states that would be in trouble, they're detached...a person in Cali couldn't ship something to Michigan without crossing red.

I'm not certain why people keep confusing the word 'county' with the word 'state'. This isn't that difficult. Terrance got it right away. Paulos too.
Switzerland has nice defensive features that France, Poland, and Kansas lack.
All over the United States, movements for states/regions to leave the Union have become increasingly popular. It seems like these movements are becoming more and more mainstream.

Not only are these movements gaining popularity in the South, but also right in the heart of New England.

I was wondering what everyone thought about this issue.
For Texas it should be an option. They should form their own country and let the rest of the US live in peace.
I think that California should not only be able to secede from America but also from the planet. This world would be far more saner without California.
They only have to wait two years, if the republicans gain seats in the midterms they can move federal policy towards their views no matter who hold the white house.
Of course an empire would forbid the regions it controls to leave. But if the Union is so great and awesome, then what have people to fear? If it would be a failure as many say, then they would just come crawling back to the Union.
