This may be late in saying, since Texas and Texans have wanted to secede from the Union for years ( depending on who is President ). I say to them..."Go Ahead". Why might I say that? Money. Here's what I propose to bring our country back from the brink of bankruptcy.
1. Let Texas secede from the Union.
2. Mandate that the now foreign State must have it's entire population of near 27 Million apply and pay for passports, that will be needed, even to travel to bordering States in the Union.
3. Tax all roads leading into or out of Texas. Toll Booths.
4. Gone will be Federal Assistance ( Welfare ) for Texans.
5. Gone will be Federal Aid in case of disaster, unless the U.N. Counsel recognizes Texas as a valid State or Country.
Five simple steps and a lot of money saved ( or brought in ).
If I were still running for President, I would encourage each State to secede. Sounds crazy I know, but only in that circumstance could we finally get rid of what ails America; our Congress, Legislators and Lobbyists.
With me or not, this is an opinion piece.
Have a good weekend!
