- Inconceivably high National Debt.
This new seceded state would likely run based on the thinking that got America into the national debt in the first place.
- Poor health care system.
These are the people who don't want a universal health care system, nor do they even want "Obamacare". They want a healthcare system where people pay out of pocket for it themselves.
- Crime.
Considering much of the crime is generated from this ridiculous war on drugs, something that would likely continue, I fail to see how this would be solved. There are further factors that would go into this issue as well that will be touched on.
- Poverty.
Many of these people think a top down model, a model that has proven time and again to be faulty and has thus far only increased poverty is the way to go.
- Pollution.
These are the people who are for heavy deregulation. Many believe that Jesus will come back before anything major happens and thinks global warming is a hoax. Are we really to expect a new nation base on such views will do anything to fix problems with pollution? particularly when you consider Texas would likely have to crank up it's oil production after seceding
- Education.
This is the group that pushes for creationism to be in the classroom an has made attempts to revise history. This is also the group that pushes fro abstinence only programs. This is not the sort of people we can expect high education from.
- Over spending on the U.S.A. army.
This is the group that generally supports that.
- Ridiculous spending on icecream ($20 billion dollars)
Umm, I'm just going to take a guess that this last one was a joke.
Though I wouldn't mind seeing Texas and some of the surrounding states give it a try. Those from the other states wishing to secede can move there and those in those states not wishing to secede can move out.
Of course if you find this moving around of people to be a logistics nightmare, this is only the tip of it. Let's just take the numbers for Texas alone. In this state it had 3,294,440 people who voted for Obama. Now we probably figure non of those want to secede after voting this guy in. There were also 112,560 third party votes. I would wager most of them wouldn't want to secede either. Given the estimated number of people living in Texas as of 2011 we have roughly 17,711,882 people who didn't vote at all. Again for the sake of argument let's say half wouldn't want to secede. That gives us 8,855,941 not wanting to secede out of that group. Out of the one's who voted republican hat groups makes up 4,555,799 people. Not all of them are likely going to want to secede, but this is where we are getting our base for those wanting to secede from. But let's just say all of this group would at least be fine and go alone with it. Adding up the other groups who would be left displaced in the state from the state seceding, that would be an estimated rounded off 21,000,000 people give or take. This is just one state. Just imagine this happening in all the major states wanting to secede.
