Why is Delaware useless? Why not a state like Wyoming?

I think we should get rid of California. Those money-grubbing CEO fat cats living in their Malibu beachhouses shouldn't get OUR MONEY!
Msogo! If you're wondering what my flag means...

Our flag represents a Prussian-style empire (the Prussian eagle) based around welfare for the people (Scandinavian cross) with German ideals (colors of the German Empire's flag) but with commonalities with the Germans of Africa in Tanzania (upper right slash) and Namibia (lower left slash)

Wow. Y'know all of those movies you see at the theatre? It's from California. We have one of the largest immigration problems in America. We have the 8th largest GDP in the world. We make most of your fruit.

Would you really give that up?

That doesn't seem like much of a problem then.

Just personally, I'd get rid of Utah. I don't fancy it.

But financially, definitely Alaska. It receives the highest subsidies of any state in the union, and would not be financially viable without the transfers from the federal government.

Theres is a total of about 5 people on Jersey Shore and Real Housewives(meaning the moved there) that are actually from New Jersey and are the only 5 people that act like besides the fact that South Jersey really want to leave North Jersey or let just join New York like it really wants to anyway and just let South Jersey not have to be lumped in with your filth.

Texas, they've wanted this and I'll say, good riddance, so much more stuff would get done in congress with the now overwhelming Democratic Majority (or a small majority, let's not forget those thirty odd seats have got to go somewhere, and New York and California, are likely to get a large portion of those seats [both are blue states]). I couldn't care less where they go.
