Open Tuesday, the White House rejected the crisis of the State Government to provide emergency assistance, and that the needs of California's own to solve immediate problems. If you cannot find a new way, faced with huge budget deficit of $ 24 billion of California Government may have to be in the next couple of months to declare bankruptcy.

Refused rescue

"Obviously, now on California, is a difficult period," White House spokesman Gibbs at a Conference on Tuesday.

A reporter asked whether it would be a financial crisis in California to provide emergency assistance. Gibbs implicitly gives a negative answer: "we will continue to focus on the challenges facing them, but unfortunately, the current budgetary problem may resolve itself by California. ”

Affected by the recession, California government revenue dropped significantly, State unemployment is increasing, while the property market crisis also. Only in the past years, California government revenue is reduced by 27%, first in the late 1990s. California's budget deficit the Government currently has more than 240 billion, which also limits the Government by issuing bonds to finance efforts to make the financial crisis is becoming increasingly serious.

Insider, in response to the crisis in California, United States Government has recently held a series of top-level meetings. Geithner, the White House Council of economic advisers Director Roemer, the White House National Economic Council Director summers et al. 's view, California, and you can rely on our own forces support a period of time, should solve budget problems and not by the Federal Government assistance.

California audit shortly before the Yangtze Chun-Hui always warned that if you cannot immediately locate the solution, not 50 days, California Government have closed. Schwarzenegger said last week, June 15, after that, each day will endanger the delay from the State Government of liquidity and the functioning of public institutions.

Dilemmas

The moment to California, is the most "leg" of the period. For Schwarzenegger proposed resolution 240 billion budget deficit of the plan, the California Assembly this week a consensus cannot be reached, it also makes California may soon fall into no money available in an awkward position.

Rating Agency standard and poor's on Monday warned that may lower creditworthiness rating of California, the State further seek bond financing brings greater challenges. Sandp says California without the 2010 budget to carry out large-scale adjustment, may be unable to repay debts on time.

Standard and poor's warning that if California Government does not resolve the problem, you may put the State's rating drops to A following.

On the Federal Government, is now in a dilemma. If you do not aid in California, is likely to cause greater confusion; if you open the head, and other State tops, putting a heavy burden on the Federal Government.

Compared to the mess of California, United States and many other State's financial situation or not. According to professional organizations in the financial year 2010 and 2011, the United States there are 50 States facing budget deficits are 47, cumulative deficit of up to $ 3500.

In this one, most of the deficit will raise taxes or cut expenses have been resolved, but will still be a considerable part of the ultimate in some form to pay by the Federal Government.

There is still room for

However, taking into account the special position of California, the Federal Government seems to not speak dies. Before Congress to receive questions, when asked are you sure you want to exclude the possibility of rescuing California, Geithner said that in order to resolve the confusion that we might have to take some unusual behavior, as we previously adopted measures. "This is not easy, but I just want everyone to know that I'm afraid we have to do some of the things you want to go back. ”

California is not only the United States's most populous state, economy of scale is quite huge, covering the entire US economy approximately 13% of the total. Statistics show that as an independent economic entities, California's economy rankings or even into the top ten in the world.

California financial officer Lockyer has warned that if California economic collapse, not to say that world-wide, at least, it will be shaken financial markets in the United States.

From California Congressman lovfgren said, it's not just California, is the United States. "I can't speak for the President, but as the 50 States, a member of the California economy ranked eighth in the world, such a State if you are unable to recover, it is difficult to see the entire national economy. ”

Los Angeles a research institution of analysts Thornburg, let the California bankruptcy for California and the United States economy stakes are too high. "I think the Federal Government does not have enough courage to say no to California. ”

In other words, the Obama administration has already gone back on his word. Biden acknowledged that 9.5% unemployment rate is too high.

Currently, the unemployment rate continues to rise in the United States Government has become the number one economic challenges. Labor Department figures show that as of June 2009, the United States unemployment totals 1470 million to 1948. Since the Obama administration economic stimulus plan was implemented, the United States lost jobs has reached 200 000.

The Obama administration also face attacks from the opposition. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell · 5 in a statement said: "I'm on economic stimulus plan will produce any good effect is very suspect. I think that the economy would have self-recovery, and stimulating projects. "House GOP leader John · bona criticism that economic stimulus plan and create employment, but in fact it is more of the big government bureaucracy spend on the project. The Obama administration economic policies failed to deliver on promises of higher proportion in the next Congressional midterm elections, the Democratic Party pressures will be bigger.

In addition, the United States public discontent will rise with the increase in unemployment rate. 4 July, in the United States celebrate independence day around Washington street demonstrations against the Government appears, protesters attack "against big government" and "the Obama administration increased unemployment" and other slogans. Despite Obama's support rate is still high, but compared with the beginning of the year, its popularity has declined.

Biden said, 1 month launch of economic stimulus plans are based on the prevailing economic data, is the Bush Administration's legacy of economic chaos. He insisted that, at the launch of economic stimulus plan is a wise choice. Biden said the project expenditure is expected to be completed within a year and a half, the major projects to the month of September this year will take effect. With the economic stimulus plan 7870 billion accelerated implementation, in the long term will create more jobs. However, Biden said, the current discussion on whether to launch a second round of economic stimulus plan was premature.

"A year of graduation," Obama to produce the exam results

A year ago on January 20, Washington, United States, from all corners of the 200 million people braved the cold to listen to the history of the United States, the first Black President-bellac · Obama pledge: we are in crisis, the United States will pull through!

A chance, Obama's "first grade" has graduated and was a lot of voters believe the "Roosevelt's second" he, what kind of results you can explain to supporters? is summarized in one sentence: "is fairly good, but also can do better. ”

Economic performance "fairly good"

In Obama's lead, the United States economy is finally in the second half of last year went out of the Roosevelt era the biggest crisis since so many millions are still looking for the "rice bowl" hope of the people; the force pushing in the White House, the United States Senate last December adopted a landmark health care reform bill, for the majority of the population has brought the Gospel; and on the perpetrators of this crisis — the Wall Street Journal, Obama also led launched the history of the largest financial regulatory reform.

Obama took office during the first year of performance of the famous magazine the Economist, the evaluation is "fairly good, but also can do better."

Obama's greatest achievement is soon led the United States economy out of the great depression was the most serious financial and economic crisis.

The Wall Street Journal last week on nearly 60 Economist surveys show that the industry is generally expected that released this month by the United States in 2009 for the fourth quarter GDP growth rate will reach 4.3%, much higher than the third quarter of 2.2%. But this year, the United States by GDP growth rate is expected to increase by 3%.

You can do better

Although commercial mortgage, and other areas still not reassuring, but United States financial services industry's situation has stabilized. As of the end of last year, the United States Government's TARP program funding has been recycled, and 1640 billion have produced at least 160 billion in profits.

In the not very satisfactory employment market, the Obama administration of a series of measures also achieved positive results. The White House, said the President last year, shortly before the emergency stimulus measures, keep up to 200 000 jobs. In addition, analysts expected, although economic growth continues to slow, but the United States over the next 12 months of work is expected to increase 140 000.

As for the crisis of the financial industry sources, the Obama administration has also taken more stringent measures for the purpose. Last month, the United States House of representatives passed a long 1279 page financial regulatory reform programme, once the Senate passed and the President's signature, the programme since the great depression will be the largest financial regulatory reform.

Last week, Obama also announced another unprecedented decision — to large financial firms to introduce the "financial crisis in liability fee". It is estimated that this new tax is expected to be 12 years or so to raise 1170 million, in the next 10 years to raise funds for 900 million. Of these, approximately 60% of tax revenue will come from the United States ten of the largest financial enterprise.

However, in the back of a prosperity, Obama still has too many problems to solutions. Continuing decline in the rate of public support, is his best warning and impetus. United States, the unemployment rate remains high as two digits, the last year of the loss of jobs up to 420 million. At the same time, the budget deficit on a trillion, still hanging in the United States economy heads of a sword. Also, how to restrain the resurgence of protectionism, and China, and other major trade partners to maintain good relations but also is Barack Obama the next few years an important subject.
