LateToCult 41,828 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 This reminded me of the video of Beyoncé kicking that girl out of Destiny’s Child. I wanted to put this under the funny tag but I was scared I would get a warm pancake. Online petitioners have proposed an unorthodox solution to the swelling national debt: sell Montana to Canada. The petition on change.org, which as of Wednesday had almost 12,000 signatures, calls for a $1 trillion sale of the state. It suggests the profit could go toward chipping away at the national debt, which this month soared to a record $22 trillion. “We have too much debt and Montana is useless,” the petition reads. “Just tell them it has beavers or something.” ... Lawmakers in Montana even humorously took up the debate. Rep. Jessica Karjala, a Billings Democrat, made a strong argument in favor of alignment with Canada. “What about those of us who would like more maple syrup, better tea and free health care?” she said, according to USA Today. But ultimately, the state’s House Administration Committee shot down the idea of a bill formally rejecting the petition’s suggested sale, USA Today reports. (Full story in the link above.)

I searched it up... It has like 1 Million people and a GDP of $34 Billion A GDP that small would take like 30 years to produce back $1 Trillion in GDP and over 100 years for its tax revenue to exceed $1 Trillion...
