@BFKAnthony817 Not sure that is entirely correct. Texas is the second most populous state, Behind California. Second largest economy, again behind California and only slightly in front of New York which is both much smaller and has only about 3/4 of the population. Texas doesn't lead in Education and is the Third worst state for Healthcare. The Space program may be based there but all the Technology is developed elsewhere. Although Texas does lead in Teen Pregnancy !

@Eadhmonn You need anything or anyone you can get. I live in San Antonio, TX and I can tell you there are many idiots just like you here who don't have a clue what they're talking about so they say something ignorant and bigoted like u just did. TX received the 2nd most federal dollars last yr. (2nd only to Palin's other "sovereign state" Alaska. Perry only balanced our budget by taking in federal dollars. Seceding would be disastrous. Why do you hate America so much anyway?

@LegalAlien100

Again, you're talking about Texas alone, while any succession will likely include many states (as before). Regardless, believe what you want. I suspect things will turn out very differently than you expect (none of the countries or regions mentioned have a overwhelming incentative to support an embargo or even the remaining union itself), but we'll have to wait to see. Take care.

@stewartx5 As for imports/exports I still believe that Texas will have a difficult time convincing other regions to do business with them. We can count out the US, Canada and South/Central America, Europe and the Commonwealth of Nations under Queen Elizabeth as they will be sure to align with the Union's trade embargo against Texas.

So that is going to leave Saudi Arabia, Russia and China to deal with; sounds like a pact with the devil to me.

@stewartx5 I agree about other states joining in, with Alabama being Texas' strongest ally. I think that potentially N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and possibly Florida could seceed. You can count out Louisiana (too Catholic). The big question is, are all of these states going to be run as a Confederacy, a Republic or will they remain autonomous regions? How will they get the rest of the world to recognize them? Will they become countries in their own right?

Rick Perry for 2012=49 states in the U.S.

Actually, if Texas were to secede, a good number of other states (many of the so-called "red states") would likely secede as well, for similar reasons. In fact, further loss of political influence would virtually assure their secession. A union of those states would find plenty of nations willing to import and export goods. The end result would be two unions with vastly different political and social views, with substantially different cultures as well. Nothing wrong with that.
