So my Dad asked me an interesting question when I went over to have lunch with he and my Mom on Friday. He asked me what region I would like to live in if the US were to break up into 6 or so smaller countries. My immediate response was Texas. After further thinking about it, I don’t think I’d rally mind most of them, the only two I think I’d really not like living in would be the southwest or the northeast. So, if the country were to break up into 6 smaller countries (by regions, northwest, mid-west, northeast, southeast, south, southwest), where would you want to live? My other immediate response was that it would be a great idea for it to break up. I just think at this point the federal government has become too huge and monolithic for anything short of a revolution to make things better.

The numbers are not adjusted for inflation, but with that kind of scale change it doesn’t make much difference. I’m no economist, but I don’t think that the Fed has helped the situation much. I just can’t see what the benefit of a fiat currency is to the people (plenty of benefits to the government).
