Gas in Chicago would go up to $20 a gallon but wed be doing just fine. And given all the water resources we have, we could sell our water to the SW at great profit.
Don't forget you lose access to the Pacific Ocean. There is almost no Red -v- Blue map that puts coastal California in the red side. So be prepared to pay hefty tariffs on anything imported from or exported to the pacific rim.

If secession was peaceful, Texas and other states would be working out trade agreements just like any other country.
If not, there's always Pantex to bargain with..
