Hey, Canada -- Montana's got a deal for you.
It's for the state itself -- only $1 trillion.
A petition started at Change.org by poster Ian Hammond argues one way to help reduce the U.S. national debt is by selling off things we don't need.

Yes, this is tongue in cheek.

I always thought it better to take everything east of the Sierras, West of the Appalachians, call it America, and let the rest find a new name.
(P.S. Just to show you how good they are with unintended consequences, their idea would make Canada a significant Strategic nuclear power.)

Nope. I like Canucks and all, but Montana can make her own way.
I like the idea of Texas finally hanging the Rebel flag over her state house, with the South, the Rockies, and the Midwest joining... But we'd have to kick the hippies out of Denver... :whistle:

Well, add in North Dakota, and we'd be the world's third largest nuclear power...(Shades of Leonard Wibberly)

And, Austin. I could get behind that.

Nope. If I Ever make enough to buy a place in Real America (after living in Ca and Ct) Montana (even if it was only 6 months) would fulfill my ultimate fantasy of Someday, moving to and living in, America before I die.
And the place is big enough so I'd never have to listen to Rap/Hip Hop/House, or that GD whiney, adenoidal, castrated, 3 chord clap trap about how the douchebag who stole my truck ran over my dog with it.

That's what happens when you have mountains. Lawn gnomes roll down hill, and everyone knows a rolling gnome gathers no floss. :shrug:

There are places like that still. I hope you do get to enjoy it.

I prefer selling off Seattle, Chicago, and the entire states of Minnesota and Vermont as long as we get a guarantee that those residents won't cross the border to utilize US Health Care.

As long as you include Massachusetts. I like Boston, but I can always cross the border if I want to visit there.

So, hick-hop, then?

Can't be. No mention of beer, trains, momma, or prison/jail, not to mention rain.

Montana's GDP is 45.99 billion.
The current US Debt is 22.02 trillion
That would cover about 7.5 days worth of debt (if we annualized all 22 trillion debt).
