My reckoning says states from 3 million to 10 million are optimum for picking intelligent senators.
The smallest 17, or 34 senators, will get a huge subsidy from the large 5. The middle will basically break even. The size of the subsidy directly depends on how well managed are the house programs, from last budget cycle. State adjustment is the second thing on the budget, the House will set the amount based on preserving its programs. The Senate motived to keep earmarks out of the program budgets.
California pays a price for being a lumbering failed state, like New York and Illinois. State politicians motivated to watch over Senate integrity, in effect simulate a proportional senate.
Big win for House, no more earmark problems in the senate on large programs.
