Greg Abbot calls Ron
DeSantis (Join me in this thought experiment, please) and they call the other
red state governors. How many of them agree to form a new federal govt. - the
Conservative States of America - and stop paying taxes to D.C. What are the
implications?
The conservative states would keep the Constitution and current federal laws. President Trump is sworn in as the President. The current Representatives and Senators form a new Conservative Congress. What would they do about a federal judiciary? Where would the congress meet? Where would Trump seat his new executive branch, and who would come over from the current team?
I'm guessing the first
law the new congress would pass would be an election security law requiring
voter id, outlawing mass vote-by-mail, outlawing manipulable voting machines
that can't be connected to the internet, and stringent supervision.
What would be the
impact on people and businesses? Would there be mass migration from one country
to the other?
What would be the
fiscal impact? Bullion in Fort Knox, KY stays with the Conservatives. I'm
guessing Socialist States of America would keep the debt, and the Conservatives
would create a new currency, but they'd have to build a new mint. Where and how
fast before they could transition to a new currency? What would the fiscal
impact be?
How do Socialist States
deal with both federal debt and individual state debt? Does China start
"investing" heavily to keep their friends (and issuers of the US Bond
holdings) solvent? How do people & business in Socialist States respond?
What are the military
issues? Which leaders migrate to new country? I'm guessing army and air force
assets stay in the state they're located in. What happens to the Pacific Fleet
carriers and subs? Does new Conservative Chairman of Joint Chiefs invite ship
captains to sail home to a red state port?
