ASK SETH & BRAD

With the August government debtceiling approaching, you may be con-cerned about what it means to you, yourfinancial security and the probable out-come. While guessing exactly whatpoliticians will do is impossible, it iswidely believed that not extending thedebt limit could result in a worse finan-cial situation than we just went through.For this reason alone, we believe thefollowing solutions and results are mostprobable.

Since 1917, the debt limit has beenincreased numerous times, usually asso-ciated with great political drama. If his-tory repeats, the outcome will be a com-promise. For the average investor, theprobable result will be higher taxes forthose in the upper-income ranges aswell as higher taxes on dividends andcapital gains. Budget cuts will mostlikely impact older Americans asMedicare and Social Security pose thegreatest future financial challenges tothe country if not addressed. And withthe end of the Federal Reserve monetaryeasing programs (QE2), interest ratesare naturally expected to rise.

The summary outcome appears to bea compromised “fix” at the expense ofthose who are older and those who arewealthier. If this is the case, you need tobe prepared to have saved enough andthat you are protected sufficientlyagainst higher taxes and increased inter-est rates.

Without diving into particulars, theissues are straight forward, our govern-ment has been running huge deficits andwe are maxed out on the national “cred-it card.” We have only a few optionswhich span the spectrum of increasingour “limit” once again or makingtremendous spending cuts mixed withincreased taxation. Some combinationseems to be the direction we are head-ing toward.

Regardless of the solution or politicalparty posturing, the numbers indicatethat the budget cannot be balancedstrictly by cutting discretionary govern-ment spending. If we cut all of the non-defense discretionary spending, thatwould only account for half of the cur-rent deficit according to the governmentbudget reports. Well, then how aboutcutting 100 percent of defense? Thatdoes not do it either. You would have tocut 100 percent of defense along withall of Social Security and then you

cover the deficit.From all the reports and numbers we

have reviewed, it does not appear asthough the budget can be balanced with-out spending cuts to Social Security,defense, Medicaid and Medicare whileincreasing taxes as well. This is ourconclusion, what do others say on thematter?

Last December the DeficitCommission issued a report that wassupported by 11 of 18 members with thefollowing major points. Discretionaryspending levels should be cut to pre-2008 levels with increases at 50 percentof inflation (thus not keeping up withprice increases … a further “cut”). Arecommended 15 cent gasoline tax for afew years. A cut to corporate and indi-vidual tax rates but taking back somemortgage deductions and tax benefitsassociated with municipal bond interest,dividends, capital gains and healthinsurance. While increasing SocialSecurity age eligibility and makingreforms to Medicare and Medicaid.

The “Ryan Plan” focuses on spendingcontrols to Medicare and Medicaid(mostly State driven to put them in con-trol to promote hopeful efficiency).Then some kind of subsidized healthcare premium program along with somesimilar Deficit Commission recommen-

dations for cuts to taxes but a reductionto some tax breaks. Social Security anddefense spending seems to be largelyuntouched.

The President’s plan focuses on taxincreases, lower interest costs and themajority of savings coming from non-defense discretionary, defense and med-ical programs. His proposal alreadyassumes the repeal of the Bush era taxcuts already set to expire on their ownin 2013.

So why not just cut some spendingand increase taxes to fix this today? Ifthe “fix” was immediate, the last reces-sion would seem like a walk in the parkas the economic hit would be too great.The reason why we believe the politi-cians will address this “appropriately.”

So what is the most likely scenario?Your guess is as good as anyone but wewould expect a rise to the debt limitassociated with some kind of budgetlimitation. This will kick the can down

the road into 2012 where we have thesame argument again. But from all theproposals and reviews from both sidesof the aisle, the themes are clear. As asociety we will have to save more forourselves, rely less on government, paymore in taxes – especially for thoseearning more than $250,000 – andexpect fewer benefits coming fromSocial Security, Medicare and Medicaid.And every government program will beunder fire, including defense, which hasto be cut as well.

When the family hits financial trou-bles, everyone feels it. From top to bot-tom, we all need to chip in on this one… and for a long time. Save more, pro-tect your portfolio, globally diversify,position for higher taxes and stay tunedfor changes and remain nimble.

If you have a question you wantaddressed, please submit them [email protected].

‘As a society we will have to save more forourselves, rely less on government, pay more intaxes – especially for those earning more than$250,000 – and expect fewer benefits comingfrom Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.’

NEWS IN BRIEF

Minn. begins gov. shutdownMINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - Minnesota’s state government

began a broad shutdown on Friday going into the July 4 holidayweekend after the Democratic governor and Republican legisla-tive leaders failed to agree on a budget.

The impasse means around 23,000 of roughly 36,000 stateemployees will be furloughed, and all but the most critical statefunctions suspended. Parts of the government had alreadybegun to shut down Thursday ahead of the midnight deadline.

State parks and campgrounds have closed ahead of what isusually their busiest stretch of the year for the July 4 holiday,and dozens of highway rest stops were shut down for one of thebiggest travel days of the year.

As with tensions across state governments from Wisconsin toOhio, the shutdown had its origins in elections last November,when Minnesota voters elected the state’s first Democratic gov-ernor in 20 years and Republican majorities in the House andSenate that were not big enough to override his vetoes.

A jury on Friday convicted RobertIbarra, 39, of first-degree murder forallegedly stabbing Elias Silva over 40times in 2004.

The jury convicted Ibarra on all thespecial circumstances surrounding thecase, including lying in wait, using aknife, and a gang enhancement. His sen-tencing date is scheduled for Aug. 30,

when he faces life in prison without thepossibility of parole.

“It was a vicious, callous killing andthe verdict is just and appropriate,”Prosecutor Kimberly Smith said.

On October 2, 2004 Ibarra allegedlywaited with Joshua Miracle, for Silva toarrive at an apartment in Goleta. WhenSilva arrived, Ibarra and Miracle alleged-ly stabbed him 48 times in the chest,throat, and head.

Authorities arrested the two men driv-ing Silva’s stolen vehicle in San Diego.

Miracle is sitting on death row for themurder after being convicted in 2005.

A third man, Robert Galindo, whoowned and allegedly led Silva to theapartment, plead guilty to voluntarymanslaughter in 2005 for his role in themurder.

Galindo testified against Ibarra duringthe trial.

Ibarra could get life in prison

of CPA. She was a key force behind thecommunity’s efforts to raise land use andenvironmental concerns about theVeronica Meadows project, and the sizesof houses on the Mesa.

Kovacs helped turn CPA from a slug-gish and reactive organization in theearly part of the decade to a contempo-rary, proactive group with politicalpower and influence.

She’s hoping to use the experience shegained at CPA to help make SantaBarbara Village an equally viable non-profit.

“I’m very much looking forward tohelping make the Village an integral andenriching part of people’s lives,” Kovacssaid. “I’m also looking forward to con-tinuing and expanding working relation-

ships I fostered through my time at CPAand other non-profits with which I havevolunteered over the years, and to build-ing new ones.

“It’s exciting to be able to dive in tothis new venture with an already solidbase of connections and knowledgeabout our community, and to know thatthis new position will allow me to groweven more, while having an importantand positive impact on people’s lives.”

Kovacs spent time in the Peace Corps,

helping impoverished communities inCameroon. She has also coached SpecialOlympics athletes.

Kovacs will take over a job previous-ly occupied by Susan Epstein, SantaBarbara Village’s founding director.

Epstein, also a member of the GoletaUnion School District, left Santa BarbaraVillage on good terms. Epstein chose togive up the job for personal reasons.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S.Treasury on Friday stuck with an August 2deadline for Congress to approve new borrow-ing and avoid a default, applying more pres-sure on lawmakers to break partisan gridlockand reach a budget deal.

The Obama administration’s estimate ofwhen the U.S. would exhaust its ability to bor-row money held steady from its last projection,and came a week after deficit reduction talksbetween Republicans and Democrats collapsedover tax hikes.

Treasury has shifted the date before,prompting some Republicans to questionwhether the country would actually face adefault on its debt if the ceiling were not raisedin time.

The White House wants a deal even sooner.Democratic officials said a deal needs to be inplace by July 22 to give Congress enough timeto pass it, though some budget experts questionwhether that would even yield enough time.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner haswarned of huge risks if Congress fails to raisethe $14.3 trillion debt ceiling by August 2,potentially triggering a default that could sendshivers through an already-fragile banking sys-tem.

“The Treasury Department continues toproject that the United States will exhaust itsborrowing authority under the debt limit onAugust 2, 2011,” assistant Treasury secretaryfor financial markets Mary Miller said in astatement.

“Secretary Geithner urges Congress to avoidthe catastrophic economic and market conse-quences of a default crisis by raising the statu-tory debt limit in a timely manner,” she said.

Fears of a default, which could disrupt

everything from debt payments to retirementbenefits, have been rising after Republicanswalked out of budget negotiations led by VicePresident Joe Biden last week.

The political impasse has driven credit rat-ing agencies to warn about possible down-grades to the United States’s top-notch AAAcredit rating.

A U.S. default could spark a new financialcrisis. Economists say interest rates couldspike, equity markets might plunge along withthe value of the dollar, and the country couldfall back into a recession.

ʻVINDICTIVENESSʼBiden expressed frustration at the politick-

ing behind the budget talks. In a speech in LasVegas to Teamsters union members he alsosharply criticized Republican efforts to protecttax breaks for the wealthy at the expense ofseniors.

“This is heavy politics. And part of this isjust vindictiveness,” said Biden, whose biparti-san negotiating group had agreed to between$1 trillion and $2 trillion in cuts over 10 yearsbefore Republicans walked out.

Though the two sides have agreed to tril-lions of dollars in cuts, they are holding firm tosome entrenched positions.

Republicans refuse to consider any taxhikes, arguing that they would dampen analready sputtering economic recovery. On theother side of the aisle, Democrats do not wantto see cuts to the expensive Medicare health-care plan for the elderly.

After the Biden talks collapsed, PresidentBarack Obama took a bigger role, speaking toSenate leaders from both parties. He also chid-

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Appleasked a U.S. court to issue a preliminaryinjunction against Samsung on fourpatents in a dispute between the two com-panies, according to a court filing.

The iPhone and iPad maker also askedfor a faster trial schedule to resolve all ofits intellectual property claims againstSamsung.

The legal battle between the two techgiants has been building since April, whenApple sued Samsung in a California feder-al court. Apple claims the South Koreanfirm’s Galaxy line of mobile phones andtablets “slavishly” copies the iPhone andiPad.

Apple was Samsung’s second-biggestcustomer last year after Sony, accountingfor about $5.7 billion of sales to Samsungmainly by purchasing semiconductors,according to Samsung’s annual report.

Samsung then countersued inCalifornia, and earlier this week asked theU.S. International Trade Commission toimpose an import ban on Apple’s iPhonesand iPads.

In the latest salvo, Apple asked the U.S.District Court in San Jose, Calif. on Fridayto issue a preliminary injunction thatwould prevent Samsung from infringingthree Apple design patents, and one utilitypatent, according to a court filing.

If granted, the preliminary injunctionwould apply to Samsung products includ-ing the Galaxy S 4G smartphone and theGalaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer, Apple’scourt filing says.

“We’re going to actively protect anddefend our intellectual property and ourability to provide consumers with innova-tive technology,” Samsung spokesmanKim Titus said.

Apple also asked that a trial on all of itsclaims be held in February 2012.

Samsung’s Galaxy products useGoogle’sAndroid operating system, whichdirectly competes with Apple’s mobilesoftware.
