The Soviets produced many more engineers than the United States throughout the entirety of the cold war. Today it's India and China. Same old story. I don't think it really matters.

Uh huh, yea, except oil, natural gas and mining make up less than 10% of the Texas GDP. Texas already experienced a recession due to dependence on oil, and did a good job diversifying.
By the way, Texas is the leader in generation of wind power, and there is no shortage of wind in West Texas...
Maybe some other states are "deadweight", but Texas isn't.

As it stands, most of these states survive on federal aid handouts (they take more in federal assistance than give in in taxes). The reason is simple - educated people and the high paying jobs that follow them don't want any part of their 19th century thump-the-good-book-to-get-all-answers "paradise".
Yea! Except Texas would have the 15th largest GDP in the world if it was a separate country.
