I'd be interested to hear whether Opebo in analogy thinks that NY, MN and so on are the problem states that must be kicked out of the US?

No, fiscal union with large scale redistribution (through progressive taxation and a welfare state) works just as well.

No, the remedy I prescribed was to consume more.
