Let's Say Goodbye to Texas

Lets all think about what would happen if the country let Texas leave the union. A number of things to consider-
First, we would get rid of Senator Cruz, the loudest Whining White Person in the country. And the slack minded yokels who think he is so great. I wonder what they would think about him when their social security checks stopped? And remember Texas  has more uninsured people than just about any other state, and they want to keep it that way.
We would not have to hear from Rick Perry, except as a joke from another country. That new country could have as many branches of government as it wants and dear Rick would not have to worry about which three he wants to abolish.
Oklahoma would not have to suck so hard to keep Texas from floating off into the Gulf of Mexico.
I'm sure lots of good ol boys would be delighted to be a separate nation. That is until they had to come up with their own currency and find out no one will lend them money because they would not be able to stop laughing, since the state won't have much revenue once the oil companies have their way. After all somebody will have to make up for the federal subsidies they get from all of us.
They could build a huge wall along their border with Mexico, until they discovered that they don't really have the bucks to finish it.
The opposite of secession is decession like "de-aquisitioning" works of art. We don't really have to wait for the Texans to take action. Perhaps we could even sell Texas to Mexico, or perhaps France. Or maybe we could "gift" Texas to, say, Iran.
