I would imagine you would take the share of the US population made up by Texans in the latest census count and figure out a percentage of the debt that way.
But your inability to provide answers to a couple of rather simple questions indicates that the problems that would arise are not assemble as session supporters would lead us to believe.
I wonder how many Texans would support secession if they were informed it meant not getting social security as well as paying their share of the debt?
Actually, I'd let Texas go without even requiring them to pay their share of the debt - they just can't keep any nukes. Why? Because the moment Texas starts down the path of truly seceding - and especially once they did secede - there would be freaking millions of conservatives (hopefully including the Koch brothers) flocking to the new conservative utopia of government small enough to drown in the bathtub, REALLY low taxes for the rich, and none of those pesky job-killin' regulations, mm-hmm. Heck, they might even build a new city and call it "Aynrandia", and make her birthday a national holiday. Y'know, we might even be able to scare them into going - all we gotta do is say..."Jade Helm is coming soon to your neck of the woods!"
And what happens when so many rich and powerful conservatives go there to escape oh-so-tyrannical America? Finally, we get some sensible things done in Washington.
Let Texas go, I say, and don't let the barn door hit 'em in the kiester on the way out!
