I think you are sort of missing the point here. These states don't want to secede to form a new national or federalized government. A larger centralized government ends up farther away from the people. In my own state, I would prefer we decentralize power even more, back to the communities, to the people and the families. We should devolve education into the hands of our local community, they are the ones that pay the property taxes. In our state just shot down a proposal funded by big corporate interests that would have enabled our state capitol to use "emergency financial managers" to come in from the state capitol to take over control of local communities that had fiscal troubles to impose "austerity measures" unilaterally without any input from citizens. (You can bet who would have benefited there, can you say immanent domain?)
Government is violence that takes away the sovereignty, freedom and property of local communities and families, while choosing winners and losers. In truth, that should be the job of the free market and the community. Why on earth would states secede to create another corrupt monstrosity which lords over them? Haven't any lessons been learned by the fact that citizens in these states want to secede in the first place?
When the Soviet Union fell apart, those nations chose to stay independent, and good on them! I would want my state, and even my own community to possibly issue it's own resource barting notes, anything to break away from the international banking cartel.
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
