just take a note of every state that net takes more money from the fed than it gives in taxes

2019-12-03 23:13:44 UTC  

@Jokerfaic some of the states already have 3rd world style areas

2019-12-03 23:13:48 UTC  

Private militias are a practical joke compared to the global superiority of the US military as a whole.

2019-12-03 23:14:36 UTC  

exactly, and this ditzy cunt is playing out 1775 in his head

2019-12-03 23:14:40 UTC  

If states were independent countries, they would conquer each other, merge into East / Central / West, and ultimately form an abysmal union similar to the EU

2019-12-03 23:15:09 UTC  

Benjamin Franklin laying out his initial, not-shitty plan for unification, and state governments going "yeah no, we like decentralized power"

2019-12-03 23:15:22 UTC  

Federal mandates strengthen the US military, currency, and provide a Democratic Republic necessary for long-term prosperity.

2019-12-03 23:16:06 UTC  

based on a dogmatic fear and hatred of centralized government all because of British Parliament

2019-12-03 23:16:37 UTC  

So good fucking luck abolishing the Electoral college.

2019-12-03 23:16:40 UTC  

Democrats just salty they can't win with lackluster candidates and blame the system <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-12-03 23:17:25 UTC  

I can't wait to see the cuck Biden picks as his VP

2019-12-03 23:17:27 UTC  

.... electoral college? I was talking about an effective national congress versus a confederation congress

2019-12-03 23:18:01 UTC  

^ True. Not a dog on a confederation congress. Both have their own merit to be honest.

2019-12-03 23:18:03 UTC  

cuz this brue dipshit outright said "I don't want an effective congress"

2019-12-03 23:18:36 UTC  

Did someone say currency?

2019-12-03 23:18:42 UTC  

Fuck let’s go full federal now

2019-12-03 23:18:46 UTC  

Abolish states

2019-12-03 23:18:53 UTC  

though come to think of it, having it be done on a state level at the same time wouldn't be a bad idea

2019-12-03 23:18:55 UTC  

We need a strong currency

2019-12-03 23:19:20 UTC  

...We kind of *already have* one of the strongest currencies

2019-12-03 23:19:41 UTC  

Not to mention one that's recognized by all states

2019-12-03 23:19:41 UTC  

Congress in DC can deliberate on exclusively federal legislation or procedures, and state legislatures can do the same for their own jurisdictions

2019-12-03 23:19:51 UTC  

then it truly is a "national review day"

2019-12-03 23:20:38 UTC  

Honestly once a federal law is contradicted by the majority of states, the law should immediately come to a vote by state senators

2019-12-03 23:20:51 UTC  

I.E. Marijuana laws and similar legislation

2019-12-03 23:21:12 UTC  

or maybe to not clutter everything up, lets name a national review month. the beginning of the month, states hand their constituants a census for the state legislature, then a week later, one for the national legislature

2019-12-03 23:21:34 UTC  

Fuck those are some *optimistic* timelines

2019-12-03 23:22:09 UTC  

I want an even stronger currency

2019-12-03 23:22:18 UTC  

no, the census is to pick one act or law for that legislature to then spend an entire 24 hours reviewing

2019-12-03 23:22:29 UTC  

to be held at a much later date in the month

2019-12-03 23:22:33 UTC  

If you want a stronger currency, you need another war

2019-12-03 23:22:50 UTC  

bull fucking shit

2019-12-03 23:23:04 UTC  

Look at America's GDP during WWI and WWII

2019-12-03 23:23:19 UTC  

It's that or open a completely free market.

2019-12-03 23:23:31 UTC  

or actually bring jobs to the midwest

2019-12-03 23:23:47 UTC  

instead of completely lying about punishing those who send them away

2019-12-03 23:24:37 UTC  

people don't seem to understand, the equipment, facilities, shipping yards, factories, warehouses, those didn't fucking disappear

2019-12-03 23:24:57 UTC  

@Mersenne war is not good for the economy. It's an extrapolation of the Broken Window Fallacy

2019-12-03 23:25:04 UTC  

the jobs, as in physical tasks, are still all here

2019-12-03 23:25:35 UTC  

the only thing that's changed is who some dickhead in a suit is paying for it and where

2019-12-03 23:25:47 UTC  

@Benjamin Henry - That's a solid point. War is the catalyst for industrial revolution, albeit conflict must directly benefit the host nation for long-term yields.
