RE: The New United States of America
A lot of people don't understand that each state was a Sovereign State until the Civil War.
It is easier to think when you have a State Department that handles affairs with Foreign Sovereign States.
Before people started moving around a lot in the 1980s, each state was even more distinct. Just like foreign states, who had their own unique culture and customs, before the EU started squelching that.
Besides the fact that Europe does cost the countries a lot of money, people don't really support Europe here, due to the fact that they don't see added value.
I guess this is the same for the States. What is the added value besides being able to life in any state or the shared currency. People should ask what extra value a higher institution will bring.
In contrast what we think there are added values, they are just not in the plain view. Take Brittan for instance with their Brexit. Most people already regret voting for it.
Take Catalonia in Spain, where 50% of the votes were in favor of the separation but also 50% were against.
If the states will separate, probably new born states will start to co-operate after a few years!
Britain should have never join the EU in the first place.
I hate to say it, but my heritage country of Scotland has turned into a bunch of government teat sucking wusses. I guess it was good that my fore fathers left there before the 1700s.
