What if the United States split into 2 countries would it really be that big of a deal?

@SW-User That's got to be the best suggestion I've seen in a long time

@SW-User In theory, maybe, but in reality it all falls apart when they stop working together, and start fighting and competiting for the same resources

@Viper How is that different from now?

@SW-User Interstate tariffs, no interstate roads, totally different set of laws and justice system in every state.

Where some could refuse to serve you for any reason... including but not limited to race, sexual orientation, you look funny, or any reason.

@SW-User hell that would mean there's no Bill of Rights!

No First amendment
no second amendment
no Fourth amendment
No voting rights amendment
Etc...

@Viper States already have their own sets of laws. Some tax different areas where others don’t. The Federal Government doesn’t protect your rights as well as you think it does. The Bill of Rights doesn’t grant you your rights. You could find the truth of that for yourself, but you won’t.

@SW-User So you don't want the bill of rights?

Of course I won't, if you don't explain what you mean... without some context that's just a out of blue comment.

What grants you the bill of rights, rights, if it's not the bill of rights?

@SW-User You realize we already tried that once, right (see "Articles of Confederacy")? You would need a passport to go to a different state, and for example West Virginia money would be no good in Virginia. Oh and the big stuff, like there would be no more social security or medicare. I mean I guess each state could create their own social security and medicare [i]if they wanted to[/i], but it wouldn't be anything like the federal social security or medicare we have now.

@JP1119 I’m aware. Social Security and Medicare are both jokes. Their existence keeps people from finding actual solutions.

@SW-User Actual solutions like what?
