Show me a list of the constitutionally mandated expenditures of the general government THEN we'll talk.

Show me a list of which ones have been ruled unconstitutional and I'll answer. I'd prefer not to rely on your opinion alone.

No, YOU'RE talking about Texas presidents because YOU are the only one who thinks where a President is from is somehow relevant. It is merer ANOTHER of the straw-man arguments you are famous for.

You're saying that where you're from has nothing to do with what you do?

Texas won't NEED a club. If you think you're owed something, send us a bill. I'm sure we can come to an agreement.

Why not come to agreement before you depart? Doesn't it make sense to settle all matters of disagreement before separating?

Constitutional authority, please.

That figure was arrived at by calculating Texas' percentage of the total population and multiplying it against the national debt at the end of Bush's term. I won't make you pay for Obama's part.

A right to some kind of remuneration in no way, shape or form can interfere with the right of a State to take action if the federal government acts against the best interests of the State.

And if your actions harm the interests of the rest of us do you expect us to just sit back and take it?

He who asserts must also prove. You know enough about the Law to know that much.

No, it makes more sense to get out from in front of the disaster that's rushing toward you, THEN worry about the particulars.

Generous of you, but your neither your calculations nor your generosity constitute constitutional authority. I'd prefer not to rely on your opinion alone.

No, I expect the collectivists will sit back and whine while the individualists will [hopefully] join us.

Let me put it in terms even YOU can understand-

The federal government has no more authority to force a State to stay in the union because they feel 'owed' any more than YOU would have the authority to make me stay somewhere because YOU felt I 'owed' you something.

That's what the courts are for.

As far as Presidents incurring some kind of larger debt because of where they're from, that's just...........nonsensical. :-)

Well, yes.

It's what you're famous for.
