"Wells Fargo CEO says California in 'financial ruin'"
"Here's the bad news:
There Are $2.4 Trillion of Alt-A Mortgages and Their Resets Are Mostly Ahead of Us."
"Chiang said last week that as a practical matter, the budget must be patched up by mid-June in order to give officials time to borrow the money."
OK, so we have about TWO FUCKING WEEKS to come to an agreement on what to cut,,, how to implement it,,, and get it passed.
Bloomberg is talking about the possibility that investors will lose their appetite for investment in California;
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= ... refer=home
If the legislature doesn't do a convincing job of reducing costs, the investors just won't buy bonds. As long as it's safer to invest in Brazil, why would investors want to invest in California?

Sounds good

Why? The top 1% of this nation already pays 40% of the tax burden. How is that fair already. I say charge a flat tax, not my fault the guy down the street makes 18k a year and kudos to the guy making millions off his invention or business. 16% flat tax would leave a surplus yearly, even at our ridiculous spending levels.

We could save a lot of money on advertising;
"One Reason Tuition Just Keeps Going Up…
Unnecessary marketing. Believe it or not, the University of California has a whopping $62 million marketing budget to convince students to apply to its nine prestigious campuses. Yet, the UC campuses are so full that they do not even have room to accept the tens of thousands of students they are already attracting. In 2003, the UC system received approximately 100,000 applications. Just more than 50 percent, or 50,291 freshman students, were offered fall admission for the 2003-2004 school year. To make matters even worse, Assemblyman John Campbell (R–Irvine) wrote in the Orange County Register (April 9, 2003) that “according to one analysis, the program spends at least $50,000 per student it actually enrolls.â€

well yeah.
do you think you can convince people who are sure "it's not overspending, it's that we don't get enough revenue", of anything like that?
the Sacramentoids, those in power in state government, only see deficits as a lack of revenue, never, an issue of to much spending and pork.
IMHO

This article is from the Times in the UK. I'm somewhat curious why it isn't in the l.A. Times.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/w ... 489325.ece
"The state’s top finance officials warned that unless an emergency austerity plan is agreed by Monday — and there is little chance that it will be — they will not be able to borrow the billions of dollars needed to keep the current government functioning."
monday
Californians are accustomed to the budget being late. This time around, it will probably be different. If there isn't any interim financing, GOV may just shut down. It was proposed that CA GOV use the money in the CAFR report. The govenator said that the idea was hallucinatory. Ca goes in the red $ 500,000,000 a week. Sacramento is paralyzed. This may scare off potential bond buyers. If that happens, Ca will have to default. That would remove state funding to the cities. I can only give a vague projection of what the result would be. Ugly to the max.

"And sure enough, on Friday, Moody’s tacitly admitted as much, announcing that it may have to cut California’s rating by several notches in one fell swoop!"
http://www.moneyandmarkets.com/californ ... sing-34271
I think that fell is the operative word here. Many big investors are required by their bylaws to shed any investments that aren't rated as AAA or close. California is rated lower than Slovakia and going down. The Ca. constitution requires that income be spent first on education and secondly on bond repayment. The bond holders are a bit worried because education has been a bottomless money sink. The average school system has 27 non-teachers for every 100 teachers. Ca has 117 non-teachers for every 100 teachers.
The UTA got great contracts in great times. Now, they want to continue with great contracts. The Govenator rejected a $ 2B tax increase on cigs and oil companies. I have to agree. He has to cut the bloated school budget. The alternative is to cause the oil companies to raise prices which would curtail the whole state. We just took deliver of a bright, shiny, new 10 % sales tax. The $ 2 B wouldn't make much difference anyway.

"Chiang plans to send $3.36 billion in IOUs this month "
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090701/pl_ ... nia_budget
That's nice. Can you cash an IOU at the bank? Legislature is obsessed with avoiding being the 'bad Guy' . Ca. GOV has been obsessed with postponement. Dipshits!
Not that Ca. is alone. I bailed out a friend from jail. After disposition of the case, one has to wait 2 weeks to received the return of the bail money. L.A. city told me that they don't have any money. They can't return MY money. They said,,,, maybe in a couple of months. Dipshits!

Jim Sinclair’s Commentary
California IOUs have some value, but for 7 days only.
You think California will be able to pay off these IOUs in 7 days, or even 7 months for that matter?
What do you think this means to business in California? What do you think this means to the worthless guarantees on California municipals? What is next? Los Angeles County 20% five year municipal bonds? Maybe they could get short term loans from the Bloods or the Crips?
Bank of America sets cutoff for redeeming California IOUs
The bank warns it will halt the transactions after July 10. Some other big financial institutions follow suit.
By Tom Petruno
July 3, 2009
Bank of America Corp. set the tone for the banking industry’s response to California’s decision to issue IOUs.
That message, essentially, is this: "We’ll help you for a week. If you can’t get your act together and nail down a budget by then, you’re on your own."
Bank of America announced late Wednesday that it would redeem in full the state’s IOUs (formally, "registered warrants") from current BofA customers who want to cash them in. But the bank set a cutoff date of July 10.
On Thursday, other big banks including Chase, Wells Fargo & Co. and Union Bank followed BofA’s lead, saying they’ll cash the IOUs from customers only through July 10.
Some banks, including City National, didn’t set a cutoff date, but they didn’t preclude doing so at some point. Many credit unions also have agreed to accept the IOUs from customers without setting a time limit, the California Credit Union League said.
The big banks’ hardball strategy will create hardships for their customers if no budget deal is struck soon and the state continues to issue IOUs instead of checks. The state set a redemption date of Oct. 2 for the IOUs, although it said it might redeem them before then if it has the cash. Other lenders may step up to buy the IOUs in the interim, but probably at a discount to face value, unlike the big banks’ redemption programs."
There is a likelihood that Ca. will be severely downgraded in their credit rating. If the legislature finally gets serious and passes a budget that is honestly balanced, they won't be able to sell bonds to most buyers because of their bad state credit rating . The bonds will be offered as junk rated with very high interest. Ca is already servicing $70 billion in bonds. That means, to rollover it's existing <3> % debt,,, it will be rolled over at <8> %
Ca tried to convince Obama that it was fiscally serious and deserved federal loan guarantees for it's state paper. Obama didn't buy it. Why should potential state bond buyers buy it.
There's no way to sugar-coat it. It's going to be apocalyptic in California.

As y'all know, Ca is doing furloughs of some workers. It's been reported that if GOV laid off 200,000 of the 235,000 total of the state workers, it would still not close the budget gap. Here's a suggestion that I received in mail;
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Governator,
I am a resident or citizen of California and I am deeply concerned about the well being and fiscal soundness of our free, independent and sovereign State.
I understand that California is struggling financially.
I understand that California is also straining under the additional burden of providing services for illegal aliens under federal mandates, which burden is exacerbated by the federal government's neglect of its duty to guard and secure our borders.
I also understand that California has made claims with the federal government seeking reimbursement for those costs.
Please consider this suggestion for a solution to all three problems. Right now, California, as well as all other states, are exempt, beyond the taxing authority of the federal government. The federal government may not tax any state activity because it is not within the power of one sovereignty to tax (destroy) that which another sovereignty has the power to create. See McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316 (1819); Farrington v. Tennessee, 95 U.S. 679 (1877); and, by way of example, The Union Bank v. Hill, 43 Tenn. 325 (1866).
California has waived its immunity from federal taxation of its activities and submitted to withholding of taxes on its employees. Since these employees' employment exists solely by virtue of the authority of the sovereign State of California, and since they are employed as such solely by virtue of the permission and consent of the sovereign State of California, their employment, too, is exempt from federal taxation. (See Marshall's definition of extent of taxing authority as co-extensive with sovereignty and sovereignty being limited to those subjects that either exist by its authority or are introduced by its permission. McCulloch, supra.)
One single step, ceasing federal tax withholding, and at the same time cutting wages and salaries down to the pre-federal withholding net, would be a way to redirect those billions of dollars California is now paying to the federal government to the state's general fund. It would also provide employees with an increase in their net pay because by virtue of the "reduction" of their gross pay their withholding of state income taxes would be reduced.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Many of California's financial woes are directly attributable to the federal government, so why should California make this huge gift of taxes out of comity when that respect and deference is answered with abuse, disrespect and indifference?
California is a free and independent sovereignty. Although the States have been hypnotized into believing that their hind legs are paralyzed, that does not mean the spell cannot be broken and our state cannot stand and reclaim the full extent of its sovereignty, which includes exemption from federal taxation. Merely asserting that sovereignty, which is the duty of the governor and our legislature, can not only solve California's budgetary crisis, it can improve the lives of its public servants.
To be a free and sovereign state, California must first begin to think like a free and sovereign state and then act like a free and sovereign state. Anything less is to reduce our great state to being a mere political subdivision of the federal government, a colony of a distant and indifferent government. We can be more than that.
Respectfully,
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

California has $ 17.6 billion deposited in 6 banks that refuse to honor it's IOUs. It has been proposed that the treasurer withdraw the money and create a state bank much like North Dakota. ND has had a state bank for decades and it has proved to be very profitable to the people of the state. It would be an excellent idea for California. I'm sure that the bank-masters will do whatever they can to block it. Imagine if all the states tossed out their banks in favor of state credit. ND has no budget problems.

California is all to happy to issues IOUs but, apparently won't accept them.
California Won't Accept Its Own IOUs
By MARIA DINZEO
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - Small businesses that received $682 million in IOUs from the state say California expects them to pay taxes on the worthless scraps of paper, but refuses to accept its own IOUs to pay debts or taxes. The vendors' federal class action claims the state is trying to balance its budget on their backs.

"August 13 – Bloomberg (Michael B. Marois and William Selway): “California will stop using IOUs to pay its bills in early September, lifting a burden on businesses, taxpayers and municipalities that received $2 billion of the registered warrants instead of cash… State Treasurer Bill Lockyer said he plans to sell $1.5 billion of notes by Aug. 28 to meet cash needs, followed by $10.5 billion of such short-term loans in mid-September.â€

The California insurance fund ran out of money in January. Since then Ca has been borrowing from the federal insurance trust fund. So far, they've borrowed about $ 3 billion. By the end of 2010, Ca is expected to have a deficit of $ 17.8 billion. OK, so the projection is that we go in the hole $ 1 B a month just from U.I. Something tells me that the Govenator is going to become less popular.

"The $200 billion in state debt includes about $35 billion in budget related liabilities -- read this as budget tricks used to paper over the deficit; about $69 billion in bond debt that must be repaid from the general fund; and more than $100 billion in unfunded liabilities for government employee pensions and health care."
$ 200 billion,, that might result in a wee cut in in services.

This is out of Berkeley. The author says that Cal won't recover until it is pulled out of the hole by hitech industries. Unfortunately, the White House science expert claims that the US needs to de-instrialize to raise the quality of living. It hasn't worked for Berkeley.
"UC Berkeley has one of the greatest engineering departments in the world. Now name one high-tech company in Berkeley. You can't; tech companies scramble out of there as fast as they can. (There is a burrito place called High Tech Burrito. That's about it.)"
"The only real solution to save California from the inevitable actually is the inevitable: Declare bankruptcy, and reset the system."
"Vallejo, Calif., during its bankruptcy proceedings -- a pattern of corruption, cronyism, abuse and the defrauding of the taxpaying public. City officials making more than $300,000 a year, firemen making more than $200,000, friends hiring friends."
The same is true for BART and others. GOV is the hog trough.

Well, Greenspan jumped ship when he was able. David Walker, the US comptroller-General quit after 15 years. Now, the California budget director has flown the coop.

There's a certain knee-jerk tendency to grab pitchforks and torches and head for the homes of those in power. It's great fun, but in this case, I suspect that the main culprit is California's ballot initiative system. There's not enough coordination of how the budget is dvided up when the hoi polloi votes in new functions for the government.Monkeypoo wrote:This has probably already been said, but... Maybe they should cut the uppity-ups salaries in HALF and quit with the fucking bonuses and kickbacks to all those in higher government.

California has regularly spent $ 10 billion a year more than it receives. This is getting to be a problem. The budget director has just quit. I suspect that he believes that the 2 parties will just lock horns until Ca defaults. "Republicans vow to block new taxes; Democrats say they are through with program cuts."
"Mike Genest, told a budget forum in Washington last week that back in February he had combed through the U.S. Constitution to research whether California could legally declare bankruptcy -- or revert to some kind of territorial status."

This article talks about how the public service unions demand contracts that are way too high;

Case-law makes retirements negotiable after-the-fact. I expect that the various public service sectors are going to engage in a lot of in-fighting. Cops against teachers,,, etc.

This is a pretty good article

"The high tax, big government, regulatory regime we see in California is the current course and speed for where the nation is headed," she warns. "California is a great test case, a factual demonstration that those programs don't work."

Well, California is expected to have a $ 21 billion deficit next year. Money isn't the only thing that is running out. Ca earns $36 billion a year from AG. Seems the water is running out too;

It isn't california, this is about arizona. They just closed all their rest areas,,, so, no big deal. Well, now they DO have a big deal.
"# Five years of spending nearly doubled state government.
# The economic recession has reduced state revenues by almost 40 percent"
"Federal and voter mandates prevent us from touching nearly two-thirds of the state budget."
"I am restating my Arizonans-only directives to state agencies to ensure that public benefits are provided only to those who are legally in this country and who reside in this state."
"fundamentally ruled out simplistic solutions like rolling the state budget back to levels from five, six, or more years ago."
"Next year’s budget deficit stands at $3.4 billion. As of today -- right now, that MUST change. "
This news is from the governor.
Ca. will see the same trends because it has the same problems. California's deficit is projected at $ 16 or $21B,,, I forget. Notice that the GOV says, no public money to illegals. Imagine if the Governator cuts off all public assistance to illegals in Ca.

It's a sad, sad conclusion but, under our present system and our present economy, We just can't afford our current retirement system. It would be different if we didn't have continuous wars dragging us down but, Hillary said that we're going to be in Afghanistan for 40--50 years. The California retirement system is in trouble.
"The California State Teachers' Retirement System has written off the $100 million it invested in the New York deal. CalSTRS and CalPERS lost a combined $100 billion in the fiscal year ending June 30 and say taxpayers might have to put more money into the pension funds."

The taxpayers can't possibly be expected to maintain a good pension system for public employees when the private taxpayer is flat out broke. It will get ugly.
