Professor Kaiser mentioned secession fears.
Let me put your hearts at rest, if that is what you want to call it....
Founding Fathers' principles created a we the people political monster.
The way the Constitution was enacted, no state, or political subdivision thereof, could ever secede without the consent of all of the people of the United States first agreeing, not just state governments themselves in every single state, itself an impossibility, because mere state governments themselves are not the full, underlying, ' we the people ' envisioned by the framers.
We the people, all of us, would have to decide, if some of us, who assert they no longer wish to be part of us, want to separate from us.
In this sense, the United States is sort of a constitutionally beached whale, permanently.
Asian civilizations, of course, all know this, and have been feasting on our beached carcass, first the Japanese, since 1945.
The Japanese themselves even called this feasting process the ' hollowing out ' of the American economy.
It has continued heavily, especially since the Nixon Shock in 1971, and accelerating after 1980, by China.
What was left of the beached America carcass, after our politicians feebly brushed Japan away and invited China to the table instead, has been almost completely hollowed out by China.
