We will see what happens. [/quote] AZ will save money by seceding. All states pay more into the Fed/Gov than they get back. [/quote] Yes they could, they could keep all of the income tax and corporate taxes. Also, once the muni bond crisis really gets going states will need their sovereignty to legally default on obligations. If they remain lackeys for the feds, they will forced into settlements that will only burden their loads greater. Best to just get out of the dollar now while they have functioning governments.

Really.
It's called SB1433, (See it here.) It creates a 12-member committee within the legislature that could "vote by simple majority to nullify in its entirety a specific federal law or regulation that is outside the scope of the powers delegated by the people to the federal government…"
