Steve's barking; The country of New Texas.

Never heard of the country of New Texas? That's because it doesn't exist.
I was just thinking let's try a social experiment an create new country for all those libertarians out there. Texas, being the largest state with anti-government sentiment. Texas has a industries, including farming, energy, and manufacturing. It has the Gulf of Mexico which can be used as drinking water and farming with desalting of the sea water.
The US would give the new country of  New Texas 500 billion dollars and 1/50 of the gold reserves held by the federal reserve.
Those who elect to live in the new country of New Texas would not get Medicare from the United States, and as far as Social Security is concerned , those who already get will still get it, those who don't will not unless the government of New Texas has some sort of Social Security and has a reciprocal agreement with the United States.
Every five years New Texas would have a chance to return as a state of the United States with the last chance 20 years after it leaves.That's four chances to opt back into being a state in the United States.
First opportunity, they get to keep the money but have to give back the gold. The second opportunity they have to pay back the 500 billion. The third and fourth opportunity New Texas would have to buy it's way back.
The country of New Texas would be a great way to find out if libertarian (anarchy) democracy really works.

Scotland may leave Great Britain, counties are talking of leaving the Euro Zone. Middle Eastern counties, forget about it, so why not a spot in the US.
