Threatening to secede from the Union is about the dumbest idea I have ever heard.

 

Why?

If the Union is far more of a burden then they are worth, why should a state stay? (Other than the fact that the US would attack them).

The problem is the only states that can afford to leave; the US cannot afford to lose.

Could any state survive to current standards by themselves though. I would almost bet that California would be the only one that would thrive without the USA and that's only because of the amount of industry there.

 

California would fail (the way it is now anyway). The only three states that come to mind, are Texas, Alaska, and Hawaii.

They generate far more taxes for the US then they consume.

     Kentucky could survive as its own state because the people are tougher and stronger to the earth there probably even more so than either of those three states.  Its almost its own country anyway.
