We will gladly leave on our own...at least according to Governor Rick Perry

honestly i would be so happy if texas seceeds. without all those electoral college votes, republicans will have almost no chance at winning a presidential election. thats the extent of what i can say without being suspended.

1 party system FTL...worst idea ever (this coming from someone that can't stand either party...but I sure don't want 1 party getting everything they want pushed through...pure hell no matter which party it was)

There is no new health care program. The best place to start is to start cutting on the Department of Defense.

No, they just need to sell California. I'm sure Mexico would love to have it back.

Hell, throw in a buy-1 get-1 deal: buy California and get Nevada free!

Theokhoth
Never! We should get rid of Washington. We don't need two of them therefore we keep the district and sell the state then throw in Maine for free just for the hell of it.

Alaska has oil. Not a state you want to part with....

Clearly a joke. I have no desire to sell off any states.

Umm the Vatican budget is around $350 million dollars a year, The Planned Parenthood Federation of America has a $1 billion dollar budget, to PPFA $350 million dollars represents the amount of money they receive from the U.S. Federal Government. Oh not to mention the Vatican's been running deficits for the past two years, whereas Planned Parenthood made a profit of $85 million dollars.

I daresay the Church does more to help the poor people than Ms. Silverman does.

You are aware that one of those HQ's was probably built recently and the other was built 500 years ago (so the mortgage is likely paid off). And the Church has 1 billion members, Planned Parenthood has what, a couple hundred thousand supporters, so of course the Church has a bigger "HQ", but PP has a larger annual budget than the Vatican.

I'm sure the Pope has stuff he could do without, but then again so does Silverman, so do you, and so do I, and so does the White House and Congress and Planned Parenthood.

At least he's not snobbish about it:

Once he invited me to eat with him. It was a great joy. He is a very simple man, he doesn't make big ceremonies, he doesn't show that he is the Pope. One time when I took him a book of mine, I took off the wrapping there with him because I was afraid he wouldn't look at what was inside. I was befuddled because he got up from the chair and he, himself wanted to throw the paper in the trash can. He is a great man in simplicity, or rather in humility.

Selling the White House would be like selling the countries identity..it is the most significant monument in the United States..

The White House is the most recognized building in America. Since it was first constructed 200 years ago, the basic form, shape, and use of the structure have remained the same. Although many technological changes have occurred, and wings and porches have been added, the White House looks much as it did in November 1800 when President John Adams (1797-1801) first moved in. Because the building has kept its form and shape, the image of the President's House has remained constant for two centuries. The White House has come to symbolize the presidency and American leadership here in the United States and around the world.

Why don't we just sell it to advertisers, like they do with sports arenas? Let the bloodthirsty corporations start paying a little something back.

If someone offered us 15 or so trillion dollars that we need, sure.
