The United States is in deep financial shit. There appears to be little prospect for a return to the prosperity experienced from the end of WW2 until the mid 70's. A handful of average Americans experienced a moderate amount of prosperity in those years. Then the oil embargo wiped it out.
Impoverishment now has come home to roost in every state of the Union since the events of 2008 and are explained by the revelations of Wall Streets activities. Talking with people around the country I hear the same thing. Unemployment is an economic disease in all of them. Every one of the states has been hurt by Wall Street. To understand this correctly it should be understood that Wall Street is, in effect, your government. When statistics are released it can be claimed things are improving because profits are up on Wall Street even if you have to decide between buying groceries and buying gasoline to get to work.
I have a proposal. Every state should declare bankruptcy and reorganize as an independent entity no longer bound by any legal ties. Once there is a legal dissolution of the incorporated states they no longer exist in the sense that we ordinarily think of and the people within those states are then able to determine their own destiny free from the previous legal debt that enslaved them. The legal escape via bankruptcy from the financial net cast by Wall Street will allow the states to pursue their own self interest. Not a shot fired. Not a hard word spoken, not a drop of our kids blood shed. People will simply take charge of their destiny by means of the laws available.
That's the way things are done today, lets play the game.
That song' Already Gone' www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-S5M9oD2wc by the Eagles comes to mind, while it is a song about male / female relationships it could be an anthem of freedom in another way. We never understand that we have the key to the the lock on the chains we complain about.
