I don’t know about the debt thing, but I’ve had a fantasy for a while that some place like Florida decides to secede, and that attracts all the conservative chuds, white supremacists, and christo-fascists, who all rush to move down there to have their “revolution.” Then we just wall Florida off the way they wanted to do with Mexico. The conservatives can have the ultra-capitalist nightmare they’ve always wanted to build, and the rest of us can get on with life and finally have socialized healthcare and properly funded schools.
