Gov’t Gone Wild! California Defaults on $18.6 Billion Debt, Now Businesses Have to Pay (Reparations Plan In California Could Cost The State Billions)
Confounded Interest ^ | 05/08/2023 | Anthony B. Sanders

Posted on 05/08/2023 5:22:02 AM PDT by Kaiser8408a

California just did what Slow Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuckles Schumer are threatening to do. Biden and Schumer still refuse to negotiate (allegedly) sending the US Federal government careening towards a staggering debt default. The source of both California and US Federal government fiscal problems? Out of control government spending, aka, government gone wild!

Now we have the State of California defaulting on $18.6 BILLION in debt. This is Governor Gavin Newsom (Nancy Pelosi’s nephew) bragging point to be President? Horrible fiscal management and a default?

In any case, California borrowed approximately $20 billion from the federal government to cover unemployment benefits during the pandemic, and with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent decision to not pay it back, employers are now saddled with the expense, according to experts..

The decision leaves businesses in the state responsible for the loans—as mandated by federal regulations—so the federal unemployment tax rate of .6 percent is set to increase by .3 percent annually, starting in 2023, until the loan is extinguished.

And CA CDS 1Y is tame (only 31), the CDS curve over a longer time frame looks miserable.

Now, Gruesome Newsom only default on Covid-related loans. The California municipal bond market is huge and CA has defaulted on those loans …. yet.

Speaking of insane fiscal “management,” a repartations plan in California could cost billions.

There is the rub – how does California finance the reparations? Raise taxes (unfair to people who never did anything wrong to blacks)? Borrow billions? Given that Newsom just defaulted on loans to California might mean that there will be relucatance to lend CA billions more.

CA Governor Gavin “Slick” Newsom. The Defaulter In Chief on California.

Same here. The only family I had living in North America during the British colony’s slavery gig here was mom’s French Canadian paternal side of the family who were living in Quebec since the 1600s. All others came here after the Civil War. I’m going to recuse myself from being responsible for the African natives brought here to pick cotton.

They’ll probably pay “reparations” before their other liabilities then come running for a bailout by FJB.

Once again, the entire country bails out a state because of ultramagaliberal policies . . .

Blacks want $800 billion for “the reperations” - California’s budget is “only” $300.

Newsom will approve the amount - then start confiscating state pensions, land and bank accounts to pay for it. For the rest, he’ll ask the feds and they’ll fire up the money printers.

Same here. My French-Canadian ancestors migrated here in the early 1900s to work in the New England textile mills.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s aunt, Barbara Newsom, was once married to Ron Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law. Barbara Newsom and Ron Pelosi divorced in 1977.
Nancy Pelosi is an aunt by marriage to Gavin Newson.

This is the Biden regime. They won't lend California our money, they'll give it to them.

Mine came here from St. Ours, Quebec and worked those same textile mills in the Blackstone River Valley from Holden, MA to Providence, RI. They came here in 1847. The KKK didn’t like them up in Worcester either. Happy to meet you, cuz. :o)

My family never owned slaves. We migrated here from Germany in 1836 and settled in NE Kansas. We cleared the land ourselves and became farmers. Times were hard the first couple of years. We still farm that land to this day. I had ancestors who fought and died in The Great Civil war to free slaves. I figure I don’t owe a black person a damn thing. Over and out.

"Here is a dirty little secret - The California pension lobby runs that state - there is no way in Hell, they are going to let reparations threaten their gravy train of bloated pensions."

It doesn't matter what they spend money on, reparations or pensions.

One way or another, they will finish destroying California.

Destruction of everything they touch, is what Democrats do.

Shouldn’t reparations, if any, be paid by those africans that sold their brothers and sisters into slavery?

We lived in Woonsocket, RI. Woe to anyone who didn’t speak French back then. Haven’t been back there in many years. My Memere refused to speak English, said she didn’t understand it, but loved watching English speaking soap operas.
