Now that you have seceeded the people of the United States of America will just need you give back the US all of those awful federal funds you have recieved....
Oh, btw, you will not recieve 1 dollar more for education, medicare/medicaid, social security, defense (including defense contractors, etc), highways, infrastructure, etc.
The US will of course control the/our military bases, railroads, ports, and all other federal offices/complexes, NASA will be shuttered in Houston, etc, etc, etc. You know, stuff that those pesky non-Texans paid for.
We will of course also put a 50 foot fence around the state....you know to keep foreigners....like you Mr. Perry, out of our country. I'm sure you will understand.
How "robust" will your little country's economy be then? Oh, btw, what will you be using for currency?
So....good luck with all that.
