Divided California

What would a divided California mean? -- this move to make it into 2 or 3 states.

It would increase the number of Senators from 2 to 6 representing the same number of people.  Will they be Left or Right leaning?  Will there be a balance of 3 and 3?  I suspect it will give an advantage of 1 to the left.

They have Waters in L.A., Pelosi in S.F., Feinstein all over the place and not much sense.  They truly represent the old adage that once the voters figure out they can vote themselves a free ticket they will -- but, being of a strong Leftist persuasion, they expect someone else to pay for it. 

The calls for impeachment of the President are coming from such a mindset as is commonly seen in CA.  Of course, they vote on everything.  Recalls are common there.  To them, impeachment is much like a recall.  It says, "We don't like the bum, off with his head!"  We are fortunate that our Founding Fathers anticipated such a situation and established a Republic rather than a democracy.

There is a lot of wealth in California.  I'm not talking about the billions piled in Hollywood, I'm talking about agriculture and Silicon Valley.  There is oil and gas and minerals as well.  Could they stand as a sovereign country?  Yes, if they reformed their government and got rid of the high tax/welfare system they currently have.  The problem is that they would form a pure democracy if not a communist state.  A communist state might survive but, a pure democracy couldn't.

If they were to split from the rest of us I could probably find a way to wish them well as long as they take the Hollywood idiots with them. 

Robert A. Heinlein saw this happening in CA as early as the 50's.  He had some really weird ideas, but was somewhat prescient.  Craziness....
