America is $31 trillion in debt, we can save money.

To do something about the deficit requires better solutions than taking two senate seats from the Democrats.

West Connecticut to New York, East Connecticut to Massachusetts or Rhode Island.

But don't dare give West Connecticut to Rhode Island or Massachusetts Tongue

"Useless" is pretty subjective, no?

By that metric I still would prefer taking Florida's entire population and redistributing them evenly across the country and then making that state just one big nature preserve.

Disagree. Connecticut is quite conceivably the single most useless state - even if there are several (Florida, Ohio, Delaware, Oklahoma) that I dislike more. (Even you must admit that Florida is a useful quarantine zone. Connecticut has C+ pizza and the worst of the Law Schools, as argued by ideologues of all stripes.) Those in the New York metro should be forcibly annexed into New York. A deal can be worked out on the Senators.

As the name says

Connecticut's existence as a state shall be cut and connected with another state

Obviously bait, but when i see people sincerely suggest this sort of stuff I lose my mind. Do you guys really want to establish gerrymandering state borders as an established norm?

You do realize billionaires have very little “taxable” income relative to their actual net worths, right?

Unless you want the state to start owning large parts of companies, CCP style…

Why not merge Connecticut, Long Island, and New Jersey into one state?

(And then split California into two states, to make up for lost Democratic senators).

All of the following should be merged:
 Connecticut + Rhode Island
New Hamspire + Vermont
North and South Dakota
Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana
