States Rights and Secession

The cure for many of the ills that the USA is suffereing from could be for all the States to seceed from Washington DC. Then they could form a much looser customs union along the lines of the EU.

Then we could build a wall around Washington DC and put all the Federal politicians and employees inside that wall and let them fend for themsleves in some glorious game of survivor.

Its like what we did with banks. Have good banks that are the States with much stronger states rights and no debt and a bad bank that is Washington DC with all the Federal debt and the obligation to act as the World's policeman.

The bad bank (Washington DC) could keep printing money to fund their obligations (after all - its just a matter of adding zero's to the national debt) and the States could each move to having their own currencies, which could float up and down based on the economic success of each state.

Maybe, as has been suggested by some people, the USA will break up into regional blocks with shared interests and values. But, it is obvious that the Federal Goverment has become totally disfunctional in a way that benefits no-one except for Federal politicians and Federal employees and their hangers on.

Republican Hatred of the Poor and Elderly

It would appear that the Republicans have a total hatred of the poor and elderly on Medicare and Medicaid. They are also totally against those elderly who have the audacity to request repayment for all the funds that they paid into the Social Security trust fund only to have it stolen right away by the Federal Government.

So why don't the Republicans urge their members to take the guns that they are so fond of owning and to go out and kill anyone who is poor or elderly, exluding of course the rich (which would include retired Government workers). In that way the Republicans can eliminate the drain on Taxes caused by supporting the poor and elderly thereby enabling them to offer more tax cuts for the wealthy.
