I hear that a lot, and I don’t doubt it’s true. But I wonder where is the money going?
If it’s going to large military bases, those will be radically changed by any secession. If it’s going to military contractors, those will become a source of revenue as the US will continue to buy from them, at least temporarily.
If it’s going to supporting infrastructure or welfare, then that’s a bigger problem as any new governments would face a lot of wrath if they tried to change it. (Though, I suspect a number of bums would leave if it came down to it.)

I think your right and frankly all existing citizens would have to retain the right to leave for perhaps a generation.
I don’t know about the other States but Texas has enough resources to take-care of those in Texas.
