OUCH!!!

| If TX took the military and NASA, they'd have to raise taxes to pay for it. They would also need to build a wall around the entire state to keep the real Americans out. |

Go for it Texas!
No more federal aid for you, and no more representation in Washington DC. It's a win win for the rest of us. |
Agree. Get Texas the F out of here. The smart people of Austin/Houston/Dallas can move wherever - we’ll subsidize and the cesspool can go rot. |
Just to be traditional and keep 50 states, would could then grant statehood to DC. |
Military and NASA belong to the US government. A defecting state couldn't just "take" it. Look what happened during the civil war. This is why studying history is important. |
Yes! This would be great. I think Cruz underestimates how much the rest of us would like to see him go back to Texas. |
Texas gets 35% of its state budget from the feds. Also think of all that federal research money leaving all the Texas universities. |
That would be awesome to get all that money back. Plus shut down all those military bases costing us $$. And Cruz would need to stay in his republic of Texas and led it from there. So much winning. |
