Well considering the citizens would no longer be paying Federal Taxes I'm guessing they could adjust. Hell the majority of the taxes we pay in go to the Federal Government. Texas would actually probably be flush with cash if they took even just a little bit of that.Planning?
I am talking about real world issues, what happens to all of the people who lost their jobs from this latest energy crash.
You can't have a sustainable flourishing nation that is built upon a volatile thing like oil and gas.
What happens to your job when colleges don't have access to federal funds?
What percentage of you departments budget is federal?
What happens if Mexico decides they want to take Texas back who is paying for a Texas military?
You do know your taxes would be much higher to pay for all of this.
But as someone who doesn't live in Texas, you can't have States just opting out like that. It would create a horribly volatile country that none of us want. It will never happen.
