I hope the residents of Texas, especially the older retired ones, understand with secession comes ZERO Federal dollars...no more Social Security, Federal retirement, disability, etc. You might be able to recover some of it after a legal battle, but I'm pretty sure the US would cut off funds and make it very difficult to get any action.

The US economy would collapse overnight if it stopped getting TX oil and gas. Semi-autonomy somewhat like what they have in Iraqi Kurdistan is what I want.

While as a Texan I agree that social services need not be continued... if current Texans remained paying the same in taxes (post secession to the state rather than feds) Texas could continue to support all current government jobs and federally funded programs in Texas.. and STILL have money leftover.
