I think that scenario is about the only way this country will have a future. It can't survive as a 50-state entity much longer.
If we were a Nation of Laws, we could survive.
We, instead, have become a Nation of Lawyers.
Lawyers do not obey the laws, they just change their interpretation of them to suit themselves.
We need to have a Region just for Lawyers. They could then Keynesian themselves to their hearts content.
The Region that I will choose will be based on “The Invisible Hand” of Samuel Adams’ Free Market, with NO safety net.
