    F... California.!
    I wouldn't shed a tear, if the state slid into the ocean.

    Its a cancerous tumor, on the face of this nation.
    A granola state. The land of fruits, flakes, and nuts. And a breeding ground for extreme liberalism.

    I'd say...get out now, and find something elsewhere.

    California is the state everyone loves to hate. However the fact is if it was a country by itself it would do very well without the rest of the U.S. I don't think any other state could make that claim.

    Texas. Texas has the 12th largest economy in the world, is along the outside border of the nation and is large enough and borders on two major bodies of water.
    Edit: California might have the size but I think Texas is the only state that has the stones to be a nation of its own. Besides maybe Florida.

    Yes Texas has the economy NOW but if it seceded and was it's own country there would be a mass exodus of all the brains and wealth. Even now they are dependent on the Federal Govt for aid after this latest disaster. What happens when there is no Federal Govt to the rescue?

    Then they'd be better off. Liberals love to say these kinds of things.You can't simplify things that easily. There would also be a mass influx of people who wanted to remain in an American country but escape the throttling greedy fingers of the federal government

    Nice job, Spendur. Now we know what a New Mexico Fed pensioner has to say, which is way off-topic, BTW.
    Texas says we don't need you and your opinion.
