Before we go down that secession road again... it was expensive last time, and would likely be so again.
Dusty, in comments to his post below, broached the idea, and offered some suggestions.
I thought that rather than keeping that buried in the comments, I'd toss it up here for a discussion in a post all it's own.
I'll take my favorite of Dusty's suggestions and toss it up to start things (yeah, some of you are surprised at my first choice, I know).
Term Limits - with pretty much this language, so as to make the intent clear to the political class. This is an excerpt from the Virginia Declaration of Rights (Fifth Virginia Convention, May 1776):
"SEC. 5. That the legislative and executive powers of the State should be separate and distinct from the judiciary; and, that the members of the two first may be restrained from oppression, by feeling and participating in the burdens of the people, they should at fixed periods, be reduced to a private station, return into that body from which they were originally taken, and the vacancies be supplied by frequent, certain, and regular elections, in which all, or any part of the former members, to again be eligible, or ineligible, as the laws shall direct."
Discuss amongst yourselves.
