We need to start dumping a few states/territories.

Cali and PR for starters. Maybe we can trade PR for St. Lucia.

It colonization wasn't politically incorrect and communication was not so efficient, we'd be expanding along with a lot of other countries.

You just can't really get away with going onto a new patch of land and killing everyone that was already there anymore.

Why would we want "expand"?Its way to costly and there's no end game or exit strategy and who are all these other countries besides Russia that are attempting to expand?

No, we should cut already existing territories. Start with California, and move up the coast all of the way to the Canadian border.

The return on investment isn't worth it. Best to just let Mexico have it

So, you're anti-pacific ocean? That would sort of suck.

"Where ya going?"

"Idaho...then I gotta turn around.".

Nothing like needing a passport to see blondes in bikinis.

Yea. Turn north Louisiana to a giant Dave and Busters since its already populated by over weight, Trump supporting closet welfare queens anyway.

The US would survive, but it would be a massive blow. California on it´s own could possibly survive and thrive.

A lot gets done there.

Ah, and check out their contribution to the GDP.
