Maybe Seceding ain't so Bad

Just thinking and thought you know trade agreements would be Noll and Void, if a state or a group of states joined together and seceded. it would restart the buy here thing in full force. i think things could and would be cheaper if this was to happen after all Big Gov ain't around and well taxes won't be there. And since the State has to provide then its more important to start its economy so they can operate. the one thing i would worry about is the Money exchange rate that would take place. not sure which way that could go.

    Joker .The money exchange rate is about the same in some ways as a hundred and thirty years. In 1873 a new COLT PEACEMAKER cost $20 in gold. A new Colt today costs about an oz of gold or app $1100

    i am reading a great book right now about early america and hamilton, jefferson, burr and others. during that time ( 1790-1815) many states talked about leaving the union. it was not the treasonous act that it is made out to be today. in fact, belonging to the union was a priviledge and NOT A REQUIREMENT.
    the federal government has brainwashed people today to believe that states HAVE A DUTY to belong to the union. they DONT. this is government of the CONSENTING, not forced.

    Us Californians would be screwed if we seceded. The shred of Constitution that is followed is the only thing left that keeps this state from going completely bass ackwards.

    Current policy as evolved from the original destruction of states' rights by the government in 1865.
