MG wants to make DC a state; stupid idea IMO. What the hell would you call it? I vote for Chucklenuts.

Many have thought this for a long time. Seems reasonable. It's time.

I don't think it's large enough to be its own state. Just add it to Maryland or something.

It has about the same population as 4 states.

Make it part of Wyoming.

Which 4 states? I'm guessing they are enormous.

Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, Alaska.

Vermont probably shouldn't be a state, either.

It is basically Virginia

Why give this collection of socialistic liberal rabble of nut cases a state of their own that would have jurisdiction over the federal capital complex and workers. Would you want Kansas to have such power?

CNS · « **Reply #14 on:** August 18, 2015, 10:10:07 AM »

Reno is right, Puerto Rico should be the 51st state. Also, our other territories should become states too.

Congress shouldn't have veto power over ever-y-thing in DC.

There's no way President Trump would allow that. Probably even take away their territory status.

True, we don't need another CA, but Puerto Rico is much worse.

Quote

The debt-to-GDP ratio is now nearly 70% and growing, not including pension obligations, which raises the ratio to over 90%. With a per capita debt load of $19,000 and growing, Puerto Ricans shoulder almost 4 times the burden of U.S. leader Massachusetts which carries a deficit of $5,077 per citizen. Even number three ranked Illinois shows only a per capita load of $2,539. For another vista California, with $97.6 billion in absolute debt has a population about ten times that of Puerto Rico but only carries 1.4 times the debt. A seemingly perpetual recession has enshrouded this island paradise for the last eight years which has seen its economy contract by over 16%

California's economy is more than 10 times larger than Greece's.

California's economy is more than 10 times larger than Greece's.

And their debt is about the same, around $100 billion.
