Montana gives the Fed the finger

I had a conversation with a dude not long ago who is extremely pro-Texas Republic. He practically prays daily for secession. He was going on and on about what an incredible country Texas used to be, and how it's time to reclaim that fame and glory. I don't know what history books he read, but the Texas Republic I know was essentially bankrupt and quickly falling apart. It was barely hanging on and was all but forced to join the U.S. or fall back into Mexican hands. Woo Tejas!

They will kick you out of Texas if they find you wrote that. So I quoted it.
 
States should govern themselves more but they have to realize that means that they have to provide for themselves and not rely on Fed for financial support.
 
btw, the part I'm most interested about this is that its a way around the interstate commerce clause. For example, on the remote chance that it holds up, that means that the federal government would be unable to do anything about medical marijuana in California or other states, as long as the drug stated in that state.

Nerfing the interstate commerce clause makes this totally awesome.

Yes, it's the most mis-used clause ever.

you want to be smart about it but once you start getting state income taxes in FL AND the fed govt no longer supports the state? you'll get bled dry paying for the upkeep on all those old farts and hurricane disaster recovery...cigs, booze and gas prices will go through the roof as well

This. The safe states usually end up subsidizing the hurricane states. :mad:

Who in turn subsidize the wildfire states, the earthquake states, and the blizzard/icestorm states.

the hurricane states don't support themselves let alone anyone else...earthquakes that do the kind of damage of a hurricane are much more rare and blizzards/ice storms are barely on the radar...wildfires consume maybe a few 100 houses a year, which is nowhere near the scale of destruction the gulf has seen in recent years
