The recent legislative battle over the debt ceiling has pointed out the growing political polarization of the US. This polarization is now getting in the way of effective government.
Paul Starobin wrote this article for the Wall Street Journal in 2009 on splitting up the US.Texas Governor Perry has already advocated Texas succeeding from the union. Perhaps California should consider it also.
As a donor state California sends more money to DC that we get back in services from the Federal Government. That money could be better spent in California. Either by individuals in the form of lower taxes or by in the more directed state services. I am apparently not the first to have this idea.
