Balanced Health and Welfare Budget Amendment Act of FY 2007 HA-14-6-06

 

By

 

Anthony J. Sanders (HA-OH)

 

John Boehner, House Majority Leader (R-OH) v. Rob Portman, Director of Office of Management and Budget (R-OH)

 

1. The United States war time economy, after causing a global economic slowdown for several years after 9-11, has led the US to a record $390- $420 billion budget deficit, $8.7 trillion debt, the 50% devaluation of the dollar against the EU and China, inflation specifically in the price of oil and in general, and 5% slump in the stock exchange.  Devaluation seems to be improving international trade and unemployment has declined to 4.9%.  The combined assets of the Social Security Trust Funds of the US Treasury exceeded $2 trillion for the first time in 2005 and are projected to exceed $2.25 trillion this 2006.  We are deeply concerned that despite this comfortable savings account the status of these trust funds has been rated poor in the annual reports published 1 May 2006 as the result of the pending retirement of the baby boomers.  The Federal Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust fund expenditures are expected to exceed tax receipts this 2006 and to exceed both taxes and interest in 2010 and to be totally exhausted in 2018.  The Federal Old Age Survivors Disability Insurance (OASI) Trust funds are projected to fall below cost in 2017 and to be exhausted by 2040.

 

2. Are these gloom and doom predictions true or is looming insolvency just artifice intended to permit the status quo to continue profiting from the $181 billion OASI account surplus (2005 est.) that needs to be eliminated with military spending in surplus of $333 billion to balance the budget as soon as 2007?  In 2005 there were 40 million retirees receiving pensions from OASI, in 2010 that number is expected to rise to 43.3 million, by 2020 to 57.2 million and in 2040 when the trust fund is projected to be exhausted to 78.3 million.  Whereas the Social Security Administration is currently turning a 25% profit on poverty and over $2 trillion have been saved in the Social Security trust funds it seems unlikely that the baby boomers or their children will suffer any financial shortfalls unless the taxed economy should suddenly and completely collapse for a period exceeding two to four years and it seems more important to balance the budget.

 

3. The 2006 Social Security Trustees Report states, at the end of 2005, 48 million people were receiving benefits: 33 million retired workers and their dependents, 7 million survivors of deceased workers, and 8 million disabled workers and their dependents. During the year an estimated 159 million people had earnings covered by Social Security and paid payroll taxes. Total benefits paid in 2005 were $521 billion. Income was $702 billion, and assets held in special issue U.S. Treasury securities grew to $1.9 trillion at a cost of only $5.3 billion for the administration 1% of total expenditures.  This shows little change in the projected financial status of the Social Security program over last year. It is projected that the Social Security Trust Funds will be exhausted in 2040.  The projected point at which tax revenues will fall below program costs comes in 2017 - the same as the estimate in last year’s report.

 

4. The 2006 Medicare Trustees Report states, in 2005, 42.5 million people were covered by Medicare: 35.8 million aged 65 and older, and 6.7 million disabled. Total benefits paid in 2005 were $330 billion. Income was $357 billion, expenditures were $336 billion, and assets held in special issue U.S. Treasury securities grew to $310 billion. Medicare faces growing strains on its financing sources. Together Medicare and Medicaid serve 87 million people at a combined cost of $602 billion.  Total Medicare expenditures were $336 billion in 2005 and are expected to increase in future years at a faster pace than either workers’ earnings or the economy overall. The HI Trust fund is expected to become insolvent much sooner, the first year when outgo is expected to exceed income excluding interest is in 2006, in 2010 outgo is expected to exceed income including interest and by 2018 trust fund assets are exhausted.

 

5. The House Ways and Means Committee celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193) noted that the overall poverty rate dropped 7 percent from 1996 to 2004.  In the late 1950s, the overall poverty rate for individuals in the United States was 22 percent, representing 39.5 million poor persons. In 1973, the poverty rate was 11.1 percent. In 2000, 31 million people were poor (11.3 percent of the population). In 2005 it was estimated that 35 million people live below the poverty line.   In the past 50 years the US has been largely successful at reducing the poverty rate.  The poverty rate for all blacks and Hispanics remained near 30 percent during the 1980s and mid-1990s. Thereafter it began to fall. In 2000, the rate for blacks dropped to 22.1 percent and for Hispanics to 21.2 percent- the lowest rate for both groups since the United States began measuring poverty.  The rise in poverty was more dramatic for children. There were 12.9 million living in poverty in 2003, or 17.6 percent of the under-18 population. That was an increase of about 800,000 from 2002, when 16.7 percent of all children were in poverty.  The most important demographic difference between 1984 and 1999 was the change in marital status among the total U.S. population.  In 1990 the number of marriages ending in divorce stood at 50%.  People are waiting longer before marriage, the number of people who never marry has increased, and marriages are more likely to end in divorce.

 

6. Whereas Medicare is running a $13.9 billion account surplus this 2006 it is difficult to be concerned about the solvency of the trust fund however Congress must take care to ensure that shortfalls never consume all the $15.2 billion (2005 est.) interest earnings as is projected to occur in 2010 by the Report but not by the Office of Management and Budget.  Congress must promise to insure the trust fund balance from ever falling into decline.  Whereas the Office of Management and Budget makes no such prediction in Section 13 the Historic Budget Tables the Federal Depositors Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Federal Reserve should be able to insure the social security trust funds in favorable terms whereby banks would receive tax deductions for their contributions to the Social Security Trustees should the trust funds ever face diminishment under the well known 26USC(A)(1)(F)I §501(c)(1)(a) 501c exemption should they be accepted by the Managing Trustees under 42USC(7)II§432.  To seal this deal the Chairman of the Federal Reserve is sought to be appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Social Security Trust Funds charged with insuring the trust funds against decline and administrating the elimination of poverty in the USA when confident with the annual reports in May by amending § 201 of the Social Security Act (42USC(7)II§401 et seq). 

 

7. Having moved to assure the confidence of the Social Security Trustees with the FDIC Congress must look into the possibility that the HI Trust fund whose budget operates within the limits of need from the interest earned without consuming more than a percentage of interest earnings so that the trust fund shows positive growth without burdening the taxpayers any more than is needed is in fact a more ideal than the untouched interest earnings of OASDI.  It is believed that administrating some of the interest earned stimulates the Treasury and banks into the positive economic activity of generating income resulting in overall economic growth.  While we respect the concern for the retirement of the baby boomers the 50% increase in the number retirees by 2020 means only that the number of worker per beneficiary will decrease from 4 to 2.  When social security was founded there were initially 40 workers for every beneficiary.  Aging and retirement should not be cause for concern but for rejoicing that the baby boomers will have the time to resolve the philosophic problems that their generation was to busy working 60 hours a week, to achieve, and the young people are being employed in ever increasing numbers.     

8. In the 1980’s the legislature worked on the disability insurance trust fund.  The Disability Benefits Reform Act of 1984 established the contemporary concept of disability determination.  The Fair Housing Act (FHA), as amended in 1988, makes housing more accessible to the disabled and prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin.  The U.S. Supreme Court decision Sullivan v. Zebley, 493 U.S. 521 (1990), ruled that child SSI cases were not judged equally to adult cases. Child cases cannot be accepted or rejected solely on the basis of whether the child's condition is on the Listing of Impairments, as this does not include any form of the "comparable severity" clause found in the definition of adult disability. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) "prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. 

 

9. The Civil Rights Act of 21 November 1991 (Pub. L. 102-166) amended the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to strengthen and improve Federal civil rights laws, to provide for damages in cases of intentional employment discrimination, to clarify provisions regarding disparate impact actions, and for other purposes. The Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-164) established temporary emergency unemployment compensation (EUC) benefits through July 4, 1992. The Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1992 (Public Law 102-318) reduced the benefit periods to 20 and 26 weeks. The Emergency Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1993 (Public Law 103-6) authorized funds for automated State systems to identify permanently displaced workers for early intervention with reemployment services. The Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1993 (Public Law 103-152) and set the benefit periods at 7 and 13 weeks. The North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Public Law 103-182) gave States the option of continuing UC benefits for claimants who elect to start their own businesses.

 

10. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193) replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC)- with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The law established a strict regime of state sanction initiatives, with dramatic results. From 1996 to 2002, the total number of welfare recipients in the nation declined by 58 percent (DHHS 2003b, II- 5). Repressive 1996 welfare legislation altered the terms of the federal and state fiscal relationship, expanded the range of discretion in program design, and imposed new requirements for program operation.  The law set criteria that were more restrictive for childhood disability and required that eligibility be re-determined using adult disability criteria when the child reaches 18 years of age.  SSI eligibility was prohibited for anyone who is not a U.S. citizen unless they are determined to be in a "qualified alien" category and meet certain other requirements such as work or military service or a classification as a refugee or an asylee. Public Law 104-121 ceased benefits to SSI and DI beneficiaries whose primary disability was drug or alcohol addiction. 

 

11. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-33) gave States complete authority in setting base periods for determining eligibility for benefits, authorized appropriations for program integrity activities, limited trust fund distributions to States in fiscal years 1999-2001, and raised the ceiling on FUA assets from 0.25 percent to 0.5 percent of wages in covered employment starting in fiscal year 2002.  The Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999.  

 

12. The Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 led to increases in benefits. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (also known informally as the Medicare Modernization Act, or MMA) established the prescription drug program.  The Social Security Protection Act of 2 March 2004 (Public Law No. 108-203) introduced a rigorous certification program for non-attorney representatives reinforced but not yet implemented in the Federal Register notice published January 13, 2005 (70 Fed. Reg. 2447 that requires the Commissioner of Social Security (the Commissioner) to develop and implement a five-year nationwide demonstration project that will extend to certain non-attorney representatives of claimants under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act) the option to have approved representatives' fees withheld and paid directly from a beneficiary's past-due benefits.  Section 6071 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, gives grants to states of up to five years that enable states to transition individuals from institutional settings to community-based settings

 

13. The goals of these 109th and 110th Congresses must be 1. to restore confidence in our social security trust funds, 2. to balance the budget, 3. legislate a full $33 billion in international official development assistance (oda) in pursuit of paying 0.7% of our GNI by 2010 to keep abreast with the Europeans and 4. to add the US GNI to the US GDP column in the CIA World Fact Book.  Art. 1 Section 9 Clause 7 of the US Constitution that states, No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.  To improve oversight of appropriations bills and the federal budget, in general, it is ordered that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) keep an annual tally of all appropriations bills ratified by, ie. 109th, Congress and/or the Senate, on the OMB website. This web page would keep track of all Bills for raising Revenue originating in the House of representatives; for the Senate to propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills under Art. 1 Sec. 7 of the US Con.  The unique function of this web page would be that that not only the title of the annually reviewed Bills, but the amount requested in that Bill would be made public on the cover page of the, ie, 109th Congress, with links to the text of the Bill at the Library of Congress thomas.loc.gov.  As the result of the inflation cause by steep increases in the price of oil market Congress will need to regulate commerce under Art. 1 Section 8 Clause 3 of the US Con. And make such rule and regulations respecting the development of private property on the territory belonging to the United States in Alaska without unlawfully intruding upon environment in the spirit of Art. 4 Sect. 3 Clause 2 of the US Con. and Battle Mountain Sanitarium Reserve 24USC(3)§71-150

 

14. The House approved the American-Made Energy and Good Jobs Act (H.R. 5429) authorizing environmentally safe energy production on just 2,000 of ANWR’s 20 million acres using 21st Century technology. This bill aims to increase U.S. energy security and independence and create American jobs.  Creating American Jobs, at today’s energy prices, recovering this massive supply represents a $728 billion investment in American energy, American jobs, and strong economic growth. Experts estimate that safe energy development in ANWR will lead to the creation of one million good jobs in America. That is why ANWR-energy is supported by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the International Union of Operating Engineers, the Laborers International Union of North America, the AFL-CIO -- Building Trades Department, the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, the Seafarers International Union and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. Increasing America’s Energy Supply. The mean estimate of recoverable oil from ANWR’s northern coastal plain is 10.4 billion barrels, a 50 percent increase in total U.S. proven reserves.  Governmental and nongovernmental environmental field researchers in Alaska are sought to cooperate with engineers to evaluate the environment for species that might be endangered and other potential environmental hazards that the engineers must compensate and cooperate with. A new Congressional Research Service (CRS) report concludes that safe energy exploration and production on ANWR’s northern coastal plain could raise $111 to $173 billion in federal royalties and tax revenues. 

 

15. There is considerable evidence indicating that the US government frequently gives false statements in misrepresentation of national security interests to the detriment of the true cassus belli of the United States (US). These lies have become more exaggerated in the two terms that George W. Bush and his staff have served to such an extent that they have been indicted by John Conyers (D-MI) rank democrat to the House Judiciary Committee for giving false information to justify the attack on Iraq and may now be impeached by the Senate with the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court attending.  The US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the prime example of false information used to secure loans that are not in the best interest of our nation that cannot afford any more wars, slavery or debts - the $12.9 trillion GDP projected by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) grossly exceeds the Gross National Income (GNI) that stands at $8.1 trillion as reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and paints a realistic picture of European equality with the USA, this 2006.  Duke Cunningham (D-CA), a rank Democrat in the Ways and Means Committee has been reported to have been sentenced to a period of incarceration estimated at 8 years for bribery and corruption although federal probation statute indicates that whereas the statutory sentence for class B felonies is less than 50 years, he is entitled to probation.

 

16. Making these accurate statements under this Balanced Health and Welfare Budget Act of 2007 public regarding the national accounts of the United States of America will greatly improve the standing of our nation this 2006 if adopted by the House and immediately used by the executive branch to limit federal budget deficit by eliminating cold war weapons and further accepted by the Social Security Trustees as legislative guidance in the right direction in 2007 so that the federal government might turn a profit as soon as 2008 on a social security appropriations theory limited by cost and insured against any decline in trust fund balance from the year before.  Whereas the first draft of Hospitals & Asylums Chapter 3 Health and Welfare (HaW) was not done until 15 September 2004 it is not expected that the Chapter, in its entirety, will be ready for promulgation by Congress as Statute until 2009.  This Balanced Health and Welfare Budget Amendment Act of FY 2007 can however be promulgated as a budgetary supplement circulated to make the July 16th deadline for changes and revisions to the FY 2007 budget under 31USC§1106. 

 

17. For free someone could produce a flow chart over time in Microsoft world to explain the more optimistic projection of OMB and HA regarding the accumulation of the Social Security Trust Funds from the table in Article 106 of this Act pertaining to Medicare and Social Security (MaSS) and send it, by Microsoft Word email attachment, to the author whereas his chart wizard is not working.  For a fee of $1,000 a month the annual June review of Health and Welfare would be extended this 2006 to treat upon Social Security Administration Office of Disability Adjudication and Review Hearings, Appeals and Litigation Law Manual (HALLEX).  For $1,000 a week the author would balance the military budget and it would be fair for Congress to summon the author to submit findings and attend hearings.  For a $2 million HA trust fund with matching $1 million contributions from the Military Department (MD) and Social Security Administration, the interest of which the author could afford to raise a family, Title 24 US Code Hospitals & Asylums Chapter 3 Health and Welfare, and other Chapters, could be published by Congress or, for a reasonable fee, by any private or public publishing company as one, 1,000 page petition likely to grow into a multi volume work beginning in 2010 with a new book and amendments every five years, 2010, 2015, 2020 etc. and Hospitals & Asylums could be registered by the Federal Reserve as a foreign owned banking corporation under 12USC(6)§614
