The 'welfare' states (like NY) would fail and the hardworking states (like TX) would prosper.
New York pays more in taxes to the federal government than it takes out. Texas, on the other hand takes more federal money it pays in. Texas is free to go at any time.
Sure NY is doing great, that's why the state fears bankruptcy and has such high tax rates that people are leaving for other states. States like Texas which have fewer taxes and no outstanding state debt.
Sure Texas is free to go, that's why all the constitutional scholars around USMB insist that White vs Texas proves no state can EVER secede.
