The Koch Dream is to devolve the US into a thousand libertarian city-states all in the grip of some overarching corporate oligarchy.

The NAFTA project (nevermind the Hemispheric Common Market) doesn't work after political balkanization. We can't maintain ties with Canada, much less Saudi Arabia, if the states crack up.
A break up today just means a Bismarkian (or Hitlerian) unity project tomorrow, with all the horror that would entail.
