This is why I always felt that California should be split up into at least two, or more states. It holds way too much political (Jesus, look how many reps you have in the House) power, way too much economic power (the GDP alone rivals many countries), and way too much power on the wider culture, and it's actually killing, not helping your state at all.
I'd say let the southern half become part of Mexico, let the central and northern half be the rest of California, if not, join to become part of Oregon.
