Figures in billions. So
California State revenues
were expected to increase by
almost 6 billion over 2008-9.
That would be counting on
slightly more than that
amount in Federal money,
substantial increases in
personal income and in sales
tax as well as sales of new
cars.
There were a number of Congressional proposals 160 years ago to divide proto-California into two
states - southern California would have been a state where slavery was legal. Data quality then was
even lower than it is today. As far as we know, there were no first-class pro-slavery mathematicians.
That's as well, as it is clear the southern states should have separated in 1850. Certainly well before
1860 - delay only favored the northern states economically, logistically and militarily. Weakening
America would definitely have been the correct strategy for Great Britain. Fortunately, the interests of
George Peacock, Augustus de Morgan (author of A Budget of Paradoxes), Sir William Rowan
Hamilton, George Boole, Arthur Cayley, James Joseph Sylvester, William Kingdon Clifford, Henry
John Stephen Smith, Isaac Todhunter and Thomas Penyngton Kirkman, among others, lay elsewhere.
