The "Blue" states generate the lions share of the GDP. They contribute more than they "take out " - they subsidize the "Red" states. If we're left to "our" own devices, then we should be left to our own resources.

California has a bigger economy than most countries. I have been wondering about secession. There are people smarter than me who are probably talking about all these realistic and unrealistic options.

And seriously - if the NY/New England region were invited to be part of Canada, I would vote yes.

Thank you for sharing analysis. Hearing thoughts from people smarter than me makes me feel like there are solutions.
