Friday night regulators seized a Los Angeles based bank, California National. No fanfare, almost hidden in the Halloween revelry. I am outraged it is not front page news. This bank is the fourth-largest bank failure this year and no one is talking about it.

As soon as the regulators seized it, they sold it immediately to US Bancorp a Minneapolis based bank. How could this happen? All the tax payer money could not save this bank? I am outraged, where are the politicians? Where are the banking regulators?

California National Bank with $7.8 billion in assets and $6.2 billion in deposits, again how could this be allowed?

Well the answer is attributed to losses on securities issued by the giant mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As you might recall the government takeover made Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stocks worthless. California National had $855 million in preferred shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stocks. California National bank had been working on trying to obtain money from the Treasury Department's $700-billion financial bailout fund, but at the end of the day the Treasury Department did not come thru. How ironic is that? I look forward to your views on this subject.

However, many people cannot get best auto loan, because either they have a bad credit record or financing norms of dealers do not accept the credit record or they have to charge a very high interest rate to ensure protection for themselves in case the buyer defaults on his/her car payments.

Previously, people with poor credit history would not even be considered for bad credit auto loan. However, there are more lenders who are willing to extend credit to people with bad credit ratings. These types of loans are known as bad credit auto financing and these types of loans usually have higher interest rates because you are more of a risk of not paying the loan back in full than a buyer with a better credit rating.

Bad credit auto loans are mainly of two type

1. Secured loans and
2. Unsecured loans.

Secured auto loans are loans where collateral is put up in return for the loan. If the buyer defaults on the loan, the creditor can take whatever the collateral is, whether it would be another automobile, one's home or business, etc.For obvious reasons, secured loans will cost less than unsecured loans in terms of interest burden and be more easily approved than unsecured loans.By same logic unsecured loans will have higher rates of interest and be less likely to be approved than secured loans. There is much higher risk perception for the lender as the lender will not have any right to take any of the buyer's property as compensation for the loan not being paid off.

Budget Problems with the State

The Govenor of the State, has said that California has budgetary problems. I think that's an understatement. What California need to be asking specifically is the budget broken down. According to

the budget proposal for 2008/2009 fiscal year we are spending 41.3% on education

25.3% on Health and Human Services

and a whooping 7.3% of the Departmet of Cooreections. We spend more on Prisons that houses only 173,000 inmates which 70% return to the system.

Something is wrong. I think we need to have an overhall of the of all these depts. Thats 73.9% of the budget. If you don't have enough coming in, some belt tightening must be done.

We borrow from Peter to Pay Paul. That is a prescription for disaster. We need to find ways to reduce expenses, but also find ways to generate more income, by looking at our tax codes.

More is less, and less is more. SOmething to really think about. CUtting the capital gains tax to 5% will believe it or not, increase revenues to the State, that they would not otherwise have. Email me and I would gladly share that with you.

I am considering running for office in 2010. Give me your thoughts.
