Secession to any extent merely deludes our ability to field a military and maintain a global presence.
Advocacy from the Leftists or the Right undermines our global presence.
If California leaves the nation, lop off 13% of the national GDP. Lop off 13% of federal tax receipts. Add up five or ten states, and soon you’ve lopped off 25% or more of our federal tax revenue.
It’s hard enough to service the U. S. National debt now.
Imaging 15 states leaving the union and 33% of the Federal Tax receipts being lost.
Folks need to think long and hard about this. If California left we would lose our warmest water ports on the Pacific.
It’s a terrible idea, but it does accomplish the Left’s goals. The United States would cease to be a global player.
That’s one way of blocking our productive contribution.
It’s just another form of treason > IMO. I realize it doesn’t qualify for the time honored form of Treason, but it still qualifies in my book.
A seceding state would have to take some of the debt with them. Prorata
USA would have to keep San Diego to have a Pacific port.
