If Scotland pulls out of the UK, the United States will be presented with a once in a millennium chance. She could vote to rejoin the UK and fill the void of the ill thought out Scottish move.
The American tax payer would be off the hook for is current bloated government, a whopping 3.1 trillion dollar windfall with which the economy could be brought back from life-support to vigor.
The UK would have no problem absorbing our health care into their National Health Service and the cost would be much less that that provided to our citizens by the uproariously funny and ironically named "Affordable Care Act."
The house and senate could be closed and the barricades around the White House could come down and the whole kit and caboodle could be turned into a theme park to celebrate 200 years of freedom with only a hand full of blemishes such as the Civil War and the pillaging of the South after the war and the problems with former slaves and our Native American issues and who can forget the war on women, prohibition, and the war on drugs and our problem assimilating our Mexican neighbors, and our political class and its corruption and open raid on the treasury.
It is still a nice place to call home here in fly-over country. But I like idea of ceding back into the UK now that King George is long gone and we again have taxation without representation.
The way I see it the parliament would provide good government for a couple of hundred years or more. Wouldn't be nice if governments competed for the people and not against the people.
Put US out for bid. Then let the people decide.
