Proper comment.



If any state secedes with the intention of returning to the original organic constitution they will be flooded with patriots from around the country.. even expats from far corners of the globe. The new economy would be instantly vibrant.

Looking at the 2014 lineup...not sure if this will be a reality any time soon.

I really doubt this, the cities in TX are increasingly liberal and democratic with no interest in secession.

Indeed. Also, how many minorities are involved in the secessionist movement? Texas is very multicultural, perhaps only in a league with New York and California, and there's not a wide swath of the population that supports secession.

Maybe the rural counties, but Houston or Austin? No way.

Lets hope this guy is right.

Between Oct. 1, 2013, the first day of fiscal 2014, and Nov. 14—which was less than a month after Congress agreed to temporarily suspend the legal limit on the federal debt—the Treasury was forced to issue more than $1 trillion in new debt.

During that time, according to the Daily Treasury Statement, the Treasury issued $1,014,215,000,000 in new bills, notes, bonds and other securities.

The government needed this $1,014,215,000,000 to cover government obligations and expenses that exceeded the $255,080,000,000 it raked in through tax revenues during the same six-week period.

Where did that combined $1,014,215,000,000 in newly borrowed money and $255,080,000,000 in new tax revenues go?

The lion’s share went to payoff maturing securities the Treasury had sold before and had now come due.

In total, according to the Daily Treasury Statement, the Treasury needed to redeem $879,734,000,000 in maturing debt during the first six weeks of the fiscal 2014.//

Does this guy live in Texas, and if so, where?

I sure as Hell am not seeing a lot of Texans demanding secession. I suspect that if you polled Texans, you'd get maybe 20% to say "yes" to secession- and almost none of them would be serious about it- it'd be a knee jerk anti-Obama answer, they'd change their answer to "No" next time we have a Republican President.

I think they have some police brutality issues to work out before they worry about secession.

He is saying that with the condition of a an economic dissolution this would happen, just as it happened with the member states of the U.S.S.R. It won't happen now when the curtain hasn't been lifted yet.

[Matthew5]

I wouldn't want the current Texas leadership in charge either.

Would that be the 20% that aren't dependent on government?

Texas needs to become Fed-free pronto.

Austin? Austin, TX? Isn't that the 18th congressional district?

Meh.. If TX can even get rid of the incumbent of the 18th congressional district, why all the secession talk? All the big government teat suckers are migrating to TX anyway. They cant hang out in CA, there's not enough cash, and North Dakota is way too cold.

Austin is the city in Texas that wishes it was San Francisco. Dallas wants to be a southern Baptist New York, San Antonio wants to be Monterrey, Mexico, etc.

Real Texas is in the counties of less than 500,000 population.
