Ida B and FGS thank you both for an another encouraging ping.

A FReeper on the Texas/EPA thread made a comment, IMO that may determine the outcome of our new states rights battle. . .

what chance does a broke federal government have against a state with plenty of cash and refuses to share by way of taxes. Like Southern Sunshine posted earlier, the south during The War of Northern Aggression, got hungry.

We ain't hungry now and don't plan to be.

what chance does a broke federal government have against a state with plenty of cash...

The potential problem as I see it is the feral government OWNS the printing presses(more accurately the FED's electronic accounting entries, creating "Money For Nothing") so technically they can never be broke IMHO(others with more knowledge may want to contribute). The money may be worthless but what do they care. They can pay off their debts with what will essentially be the equivalent Monopoly money. The states on the other hand will be stuck with cash on hand that will be worth less with each passing day.
