re: How exciting will be the Texas’ Secession

Not that I wouldn't like to see this happen, but it will never happen nor succeed.
IF it did happen, I believe it would set off a movement of other states joining. I don't think federal goverment would use military, but would attempt to isolate these states and withhold federal aid and not allow travel out of these states. We could survive down south with agriculture. ports, and most of the refining and chemical plants.

I'm a Texan and would love to see this happen, consequences be damned. The federal aid that would be "whitheld" from Texas, is way less than Texans pay in. A quick search shows Texas citizens pay around $260B in taxes, and Texas receives $40B in federal aid. Along those lines, we'd be pretty well off. Not to mention, we have a Lockheed Martin manufacturing facility, a Bell Helicopter manufacturing plant, Texas Instruments and quite a few other military organizations. It would be a HUGE struggle for Texas, but I do believe it would be a manageable amount of headache for the long term gain.

I'd love to see the whole Bible belt separate in all reality. Although, I don't believe it realistically ever will happen.
