Be careful what you wish for California is the economic dynamo of the nation at the moment, and if and when it departs, other likeminded states will as well. BTW, they also tend to be high output states, so your remaining tax base will be pretty thin. I guess you can try gutting the government and see how that works, since you won't be able to afford much anyway.
I don't see government being downsized as a particular problem.
