A Possible Debt Solution

Today, on my drive to Rochester to watch Jeff's game, I came with a solution to this nation's debt problem.  I just happened to be driving through the terrible state of Pennsylvania when this idea hit. It just came to me.
I say, we simply remove the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia. Relocate the bell somewhere significant, somewhere important like, say, South Euclid, Ohio or Rotterdam, New York. Once the Liberty Bell is moved, everything of importance will have been removed from the state of Pennsylvania and we can sell the land to a foreign nation. Maybe Canada would want it as a tropical summer destination. I don't know. But it certainly doesn't do the U.S. or it's citizen's any good. 

When I arrived in Rochester, thank goodness it's in New York, I ran my idea by some family members. My mother-in-law one-hundred percent agrees with my idea. In fact, her family refers to Pennsylvania as the Rectum of the United States. 

If selling Pennsylvania isn't an option, which would be unfortunate, I have some recommended improvements for the state. First would be to put a little bit of effort into paving the roads. It is no longer the 1800's, dirt and gravel roads, especially as major highways, are frowned upon unless you are camping. Picking up all of the garbage that floats around would be another step in the right direction. One should be able to be outside in the state of PA and not be hit in the face with flying rubbish. And lastly, especially on a sunny, non-snowing day like today, get some plows on the roads to clear off the snow that fell days ago. 
Major highways on a clear day should not seem like you are driving in the arctic during a blizzard. The only problem I really see with selling PA, is that America would have an odd number of states. I like things nice and even.
