Look at the "bright" side. It is my humble oppinion that all of the chopping of costs (and pushing others onto the state backs) and pumping of tariffs is optimally to cause a ceasation of the federal income tax and support the country by means of the warped equivalent of a VAT promoted as a tariff (in the same way that a national ID card is being promoted as a "Real ID" drivers license).
As far as merging with Canada? I suspect while 85% of USians whould see no problem, 85% (being generous here) would avoid the idea at all costs - up to, and includung, changing which candidate they vote for to lead their country.
