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.
