Its high time the states stopped letting the federal government blackmail them out of their rights due to "public funding" In fact, New mexico should just tell the federal government to not only keep their money, but stop paying the feds taxes-I imagine once they do that they will have no problem being financially stable without the US governments assistance. In fact theyd likely do a better job as the federal government only knows how to make things worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a school of thought lately that the state governments are somehow more responsible and better managed. I would say there is zero empirical evidence to support this idea. Most states have a higher degree of cronyism than does the federal government.

And theres plenty of empirical proof of that. I dont know about new mexico-but states like texas, wyoming, and north dakota could all easily stand alone without government support. Many others, if they learn to run a budget could as well Since the US was set up to be state run-and not fed run, I think we need to give the states the chance and get the federal government out and let the country be run the way the founding fathers designed it to be. Perhaps many states are the way they are because they had such a "stellar" example of how to run. The feds have had their noses in to many peoples business for to long that they dont know how to run without it-its time the feds stepped back and let the states do it. I think youd be surprised at how many people-and states, can make it without having a irresponsible government in the way telling them how to spend their money.

If there's a way to do it and keep america whole I'm all for it. If it comes to secession-well I will put it this way chances are I won't be opposed to it.
