The states that are so quick to secede are likely shooting themselves in their feet when it comes to support from the federal government(1). Having driven through most of the country, when you get to areas like South Dakota, they don't have much industry besides cattle, tourism, mining or storing ICBMs. Leaving the US potentially neuters their own tourism industries and introduces all types of logistical issues. As much noise as red states like to make, many would probably still be hunter gatherers traversing the plains on their rutted dirt roads if not for the technologies and/or subsidies provided by their despised city dwelling "coastal elites."
