Throwaway thought but man can you imagine not having to subsidize Kentucky and the other deadbeat states any more?
Letting parts of the country that already resemble third-world countries fall even further into squalor would be pretty detestable on our part, yes.
I love how everyone
universally assumes that under completely unrestrained republican control of states that would secede in this scenario, said states would devolve into a sub-third world conditions.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not disagreeing with the assumption. I'm just pointing out how republicans have proven themselves so utterly full of malice, so incompetent and so incapable of governing that the seemingly universal argument of those against(in this thread anyways) is that it would be something akin to an unspeakable human rights violation to allow a state (or states) the horrific fate of suffering under republican control with no democratic-controlled federal government to serve as a check on the very worst impulses of the GQP.
It's one hell of a revealing argument is all I'm saying...
