9. I still believe we need to offer to help move those blue Texans

to safe states with the United States. We can't just leave them suffering among the stupid R's. They've tried their best, and they've risen to the cause many, many times. We can't just leave them behind. Texas government on all levels strip them of too much of their money, assets, etc., in their normal course of living to attempt to leave it all behind on their own.

Hea... at this point, I'd like to see Texas, FL, and Idaho (and maybe a few others) go their own way (once we get everything U.S. out of the states), and try to make it on their own. But only with full disclosure to their populations. That includes notification of no more SS, Medicare, Medicaid, SSDI, or any other type of U.S. government help. It also means all positions and posts currently occupied by civilians on bases within those states are null and void and will be cancelled, as will the base, itself. Then, if their still so crazy to be with their own libertarian kind, go for it.

For those who aren't, allow them plead refugee status and give them priority for a period of time. Help them to relocate. Offer job search options, etc. You don't have to do it all for them, but at least give them a hand to get out of hell. These are our brothers and sisters in the fight, after all.
