In the next 10-15 years,I fully expect several states to break away from the DC, form new republics and then turn into a loose confederation of nation states.
Seriously, with a FLAT broke federal government more concerned about centralized power, HOW will DC even attempt to stop the inevitable.
Texas will start the chain reaction and then it will turn into every state for itself with many joining new republics based on shared interests.
...and I fully expect a new black republic to form with consent from other states just so they rabble among themselves.
JMO...

We laughed when we first considered it.
