That nation was divided about several presidents already and in today's world with all the interconnected economy / relationships etc. you don't just "secede".

Otherwise Bavaria would have done so since long. ;) :D

It wouldnt meen nothing if the economic crisis wouldnt be this severe, its a pandoras box for internal and foreign crisis for all countries.

Some small facts left over from Jr High in Waco, Texas ...

Texas reserved the right to split into five states when they joined the union after the war between the states was over. In fact just like the USA Texas was a Republic.

They would swallow a lot of pride in not being the same Texas, but they could rule the US Senate with the additional senators that would then be elected.

Texas has that right :yep:

Geetrue,

That might work exempt for a little piece of paper called the Constitution. Specifically Article 4, section 3, paragraph 1.

They would need congress' permission and that aint gonna happen. :nope:

Besides, you are assuming that all "five" states would vote the same way.

Texas isn't leaving the union any time soon, even if someone with the middle name of Hussein has the presidency. But viva la resistance!

A sentiment with which I agree, by the way. In every case. And in this case how much money has actually been spent yet? Or borrowed?

It's funny how the wind blows in different directions depending, not on who's in office, but on how he is percieved by people who claim to have no bias.

Indeed sir.
