Should USA be dissolved and 50 independent free nations emerge?

Answer 1

Should your brain be dissolved and your remaining twenty five brain cells function independently?

Answer 2

No the USA should dissolve into 50 independent nations. But we do need to rethink our idea of federal government.

We should take a look at dismantling the federal government though and restoring a lot of powers, programs, money and property back to the states (great example is education). In less than a century we have created a mega-beast of a government. As a result, we have career politicians and political businessmen that use and parasite our beast creation to rule over us all. All of the regulations and 'public good' that we have bought hook-line-and sinker - will be our doom.

Answer 3

Of course not. We should simply get back to our roots a a federal republic. The Constitution assigns to states all powers which are not specifically enumerated in that document. that's what States Rights mean. the federal government has no business running social security, education, medicare, entitlements, social funding for the arts and almost every other piece of pork they ram down our throats. The power drunk fools in congress and activist judges have so incredibly overstepped their bounds in the past century and a half that we really can no longer say we are a federal republic, we're probably closer to a democratic republic now.

States Rights have been usurped by the D.C. power mongers of both parties. The federal government is supposed to be responsible for little more than national defense and arbitrating disputes.

There's no need to disband the union, just uphold the Constitution!

Answer 4

I'm a bit curious as to why you would ask about dissolution of the US, but your question did inspire a few thoughts and an analogy or two. One might ask: What is the value of unity? If one contemplates a college classroom of, say, 50 students--each an independent thinker, relatively self-regulating and of average- to above-average intelligence overall--why would a syllabus and professor be assets? Since I am a military veteran from the Vietnam era, another analogy useful for answering your question would be a military regiment wherein each person is capable of functioning independently as individuals, so why make use of a central command or a code of military conduct? The advantage would appear to involve order and balance for either analogy. Would this not hold true for our states? A house divided against itself cannot stand, and 50 separate states with no cohesive commonality in terms of governance (i.e., federal law) would be an invitation for chaos in various forms and intensities, making this nation highly vulnerable to self-destruction as well as to assaults from external sources.

Answer 5

I just logged in and am already prepared to nominate you as the stupidest poster of the day. But I'll wait, because as mind-numbingly ignorant as your question is, there will no doubt be many contenders for the crown before the day is done.

My answer (in a "nut"shell) is no way in hell, Bucky. Now go back to watching your Saturday Morning cartoons and let the grown-ups play.

Answer 6

we don't be responsive to. Ten years from now could be a protracted time. Given the way our government is being run right now, with trillion greenback deficits and merchandising of the nanny state, of a breakdown in upholding our shape and the belief of plurality and "political correctness", we would possibly not stay to tell the story ten years as a loose united states. in spite of the shown fact that, if there are sturdy adult males and females human beings prepared to assert "adequate" and make the difficult options and combat for the liberty our ancestors gave us, then consistent with danger we are able to stay to tell the story. yet, we can't only take a seat on our couches and don't something.

Answer 7

It is an interesting idea. We could do something like that then have a council like the U.N. or E.U. for when on state is being attack by an outside aggressor. Loosely united like Indian nations of thee 18th century.

Answer 8

"United we stand...divided we fall" is our motto.... so no we should not dissolve our unity. but the Fed should relinquish most of it's powers over the individual states and return to a "government of the people,by the people" as provided by the Constitution.

Answer 9

And turn 50 governors into 50 presidents? Yea gads, man!

Answer 10

Heck no.. sounds like a disaster waiting to happen
remember the Civil War?
