States could leave....provided they pay back their per capita portion of the debt and all federal infastructure housed in their state. No bailing out without paying the bill. That's just sleazy.


Under such a plan, Texas would actually be owed a lot of money.  As up until very recently, they paid more then they got back... and are likely a reason why the debt isn't higher.

It really only was until the last few years that they got more back then they paid, which mostly happened because pretty much every state but like I want to say 7-12 did.

 

Which out of 50 is just another way to point out just how awful our debt problem is.
