#2 Im sure the Alaskans would love to cash out of the US. They could probably self finance with their resources.

#5 Sounds like a damn good idea t mee. What squealing Washington would Make if the "Sell Alaska" Offer were genuine, It'd put the fearof the People in Government, once and for all.
I' suggest it, as a "Proof" tht there's other (Undisclosed) ways to end this FISCAL CLIFF screaming.
Not that there's anything wrong with it, But, it won't happen.

#8 This article got me to thinking. Maybe the citizens of each state could pool their resources and buy back their individual states.

#11 Sell the entire west coast, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Taxachussets, and Minnesota - and tell Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin, Connecticut that they are next, unless they get their financial houses in order.

#12 Sell Texas and let Texas buy themselves. That way they could secede without a fuss.

#14 I like your thinking, rj.
Just give me a chance to move there so I can be a native-born citizen when they become a separate nation again. :-D

#15 The Federal government owns way too much land. It depresses local property taxes and economic development. We should not sell sovereignty of this land only title to the highest bidder.
We could easily raise 5 trillion dollars at the outset, and then raise more every year from ongoing economic activity.
Let's start now.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
