February 21, 201412 yr Venture capitalist in bid to split California into six states: Thomson Reuters Business News - MSN Money Plan to split California into six states closer to vote
February 21, 201412 yr Author I don't see Congress ever letting this happen, even if Californians vote for it.
February 21, 201412 yr I've seen a map of the state of "Jefferson". I assume it'll basically be Nebraska... mostly farms and meth. While I'm sure the residents of rural California find the image-obsessed beautiful people of LA and the drug-addled flamboyant homosexuals of the Bay Area unappealing, those places also represent almost all of California's economic power. They're basically looking to create more states that suck federal dollars like a vacuum cleaner because they don't produce enough on their own.
February 21, 201412 yr Just in case you were curious about what drives economies in the 21st century...
February 21, 201412 yr 12 Senators from the existing California. Ain't happening as the article states. Congress will never agree to this. But then again, it is Congress.

February 22, 201412 yr 12 Senators from the existing California. Ain't happening as the article states. Congress will never agree to this. But then again, it is Congress. California has two senators representing more than 38 million people. Wyoming has two senators representing fewer than 600,000 people. About 30 years ago, as I recall, there was a proposal to chop up California into three states. That probably makes more sense than six states.
February 22, 201412 yr The six states should be split like this. 1 republicans 2 liberals 3 Hispanics 4 Hollywood stars 5 navy 6 homosexuals

I wish we would go back to the old way of selecting Senators The beauty of the system is that in the Senate every state regardless of population is equal. Seems the Socialists would love that.
