Well, their portion of their debt would be proportional to their population, not the number of states in the union,
so, instead of $185,880,285,637 for the state,
it would be closer to $29,450,000,000
a difference of about 156 billion dollars.
Every person in the U.S. owns about 30,500 worth of the debt, there are less than 950 million in Montana, national debt is about 9.3 trillion at the
moment.
I would say, with the land and resources, they could do quite well and have their share of the debt paid off. Of course, they get to keep all the
military equipment, since, they should own it. It is their tax money that have paid for it as well. Basically a sovereign state that is no longer
united in the union.
Not that this is going to happen anytime soon, but again, each state has the right, and duty to if the appointed government becomes tyrannical and the
system to appeal and repair doesn't work any longer.
It may not be the best for the 'U.S.' as in it may end, but we should not worry about the nation itself, but the people and how they are treated.
Be a patriot and a human, not a nationalist apologist.
I hope to not see the nation dissolve, but I also don't want to see us continuing down the path that history has shown to be quite distasteful in the
long run.
