...Brown seeks 5-year extension of California taxes<br /><br />SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing to slash funding for most areas of state government and maintain a series of tax increases for five years to close California's huge budget deficit.<br /><br />The Democratic governor on Monday released his first budget proposal since winning election last fall.<br /><br />He is calling for $12.5 billion in spending cuts, including reductions in welfare, social services, health care for the poor and higher education.<br /><br />Brown also wants the Legislature to call a special election in June to give voters an opportunity to continue hikes in the income, sales and vehicle taxes for five years.<br /><br />The governor's office says the only area of state spending he would protect is K-12 education.<br /><br />Brown said his recommendations will close an 18-month budget gap estimated at $25.4 billion.<br /><br />http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110110/ap_on_re_us/us_california_budgetPleather Mursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128585033868187384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-3922232053810640372011-01-03T21:28:14.837-08:002011-01-03T21:28:14.837-08:00Intel CEO: U.S. faces looming tech decline

"I can tell you definitively that it costs $1 billion more per factory for me to build, equip, and operate a semiconductor manufacturing facility in the United States," Otellini said.<br /><br />The rub: Ninety percent of that additional cost of a $4 billion factory is not labor but the cost to comply with taxes and regulations that other nations don't impose. Cypress Semiconductor CEO T.J. Rodgers elaborated on this in an interview with CNET, saying the problem is not higher U.S. wages but antibusiness laws: "The killer factor in California for a manufacturer to create, say, a thousand blue-collar jobs is a hostile government that doesn't want you there and demonstrates it in thousands of ways."<br /><br />http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20014563-38.htmlPleather Mursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128585033868187384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-87277500361941124232011-01-03T11:34:46.074-08:002011-01-03T11:34:46.074-08:00Now is the time to sell, real estate consultant sa...Now is the time to sell, real estate consultant says<br /><br />People who have been delaying putting their homes on the market should do it soon because prices may go down 5% to 8% as banks unload a glut of repossessed properties.<br /><br />http://www.latimes.com/business/realestate/la-fi-umberger-20110102,0,6685941.storyPleather Mursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128585033868187384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-45258235727829713642010-12-31T22:07:11.821-08:002010-12-31T22:07:11.821-08:00I'm not going to dump all over that Cole Barti...I'm not going to dump all over that Cole Bartiromo kid -- the young stock swindler from SD -- when zillionaire bankers are living lavish lifestyles while ordinary shlubs are pulling the wreckage of their lives together in this depression.

Wall Street paid out $20.3 billion in bonuses for 2009, and the numbers for 2010 are expected to be up modestly, according to various estimates, including one from New York's comptroller.<br /><br />http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Wall-Street-bankers-publicly-rb-3409482030.html?x=0Pleather Mursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128585033868187384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-66672384086991187482010-12-28T09:29:21.719-08:002010-12-28T09:29:21.719-08:00Is it time for the quarterly post yet?

I was rather looking forward to the prospect of those of us who live in the rest of the U.S. being able to export all our potheads to California, where they could freeload on relatives and government programs there rather than in our own neighborhoods. *Sigh*--oh well, maybe Washington state or Oregon will consider legalization?<br /><br />And to repeat a point I made earlier: California has a little over a month to get the U.S. Congress to bail it out, otherwise it will have to balance its budget on its own. With a governor and a legislature completely beholden to the public sector unions, that could turn out to be interesting.Peripheral Visionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489447120517274000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-65311890992945359992010-11-03T07:42:52.831-07:002010-11-03T07:42:52.831-07:00Can't we just split this state already?
