You’re just jealous. Texans (or Texians) got big balls.

Most of the ones I know are lacking in other areas, especially my boss - big time. But I'll play along. Say Texas does secede, describe for me what it will be like. Taxes, government services, diplomacy, budget, government, so on and so forth. I hear you Texas folk all talk about leaving but it's clear you haven't thought things through.

I see.....and our U.S. representatives have thought things through? Pardon my laughter outburst....

Hmmmmmm...how many legislative bills of one thousand or more pages have been passed by our "well-read, learned and respected" representation in the past 6 months?

Can The Republic of Texas govern respectfully? ....yes. We currently send our state reps home...they meet once every two years.....then beat it! They can't hurt us when they are not in session....

Maybe everything has not been thought thru but there are significant items that are needed for secession already in place. One of the biggest is that Texas has it’s own power grid and much of it is nuclear based. We share any excess with other states. Texas has a lot of financial support that is Texas-based, not BoA, WF, etc. Throw in farming, ranching, and thousands of other manufacturing sites. Green? There are already several huge wind farms here. Granted what they produce is insignificant overall (the Greens should note that it takes thousands of windmills to replace one nuke), but Texas has quite a jump start on that technology, as ridiculous as most of it is.

There are shortages water being the most significant. But that is a solvable problem.

I am a native, and I do not wish to leave the U.S., but I will not live in a Marxist country which is where we are going. I want it all back and the Commies out on their A$$.

We do not plan to start now.

If it were up to me, I'd turn off every natural gas and petroleum line leaving the state. Quit sending the billions to DC for the dipsticks there to spend in all the liberal meccas in the other states. Run every libtard in Austin back to their original state. Confiscate all military equipment and secure the border on all sides with the military already in the state.

IIRC, the 8 or 9 largest economy in the world.

I think we’ll get by.

Throw in currency and national defense. You are right but it is fun to think about and maybe even plan for. Any problem can be overcome given the desire. Will the desire exceed conversation ... ?
