Online petition calls for Montana to be sold to Canada to reduce national debt
An online petitioner has a unique plan to help pay down the national debt: sell the state of Montana!
A change.org user named Ian Hammond says the US has too much debt and that Montana is “useless.”
The petition suggests the country could earn a trillion dollars by selling “Big sky country” to Canada.
Even if the harebrained sale happened, it would only put a dent in the debt.
It crossed the $22 trillion threshold earlier this month.
Montana’s GDP is just under $50 billion per year.
