We should refocus on the power of the states and realize for instance what is good for Georgia isnt good for New York. Recognizing out unique differences while uniting at the federal level for issues of national security and leaving the rest for the states to decide would solve most of our issue .
The issue of outside money influencing local elections comes into play big times and simple laws not allowing pacs based outside of the state to donate, and donation limits towards political candidates and campaign finance reform will go a long way.
A complete dissolution of the united states would create world wide implications with our military force compromised and large players would strike and take advantage of the turmoil both internal and abroad.
